| Sm4ckd0wn said: I think some people in this thread underestimate the amount of "hardcore" Wii owners there are. To say software other than Wii Sports and Wii Play aren't selling is a ridiculous statement. There are several million seller games on the Wii, and "hardcore" series such as Resident Evil have proven to sell well. If anything, people should be more worried about PS3 software sales (and they shouldn't). |
Another consideration is how many households only have one person or one kind of gamer in them?
In households where the Wii was bought by/for non-conventional gamers there is a high probability that conventional gamers will also be in the household. How many gamers would honestly say that they wouldn't buy a high quality conventional game for the Wii if they already owned a Wii?
The same can not be said about unconventional games on a conventional platform. Being how they're marketed, the PS3 and XBox 360 are not (particularly) interesting to unconventional gamers and they're not going to go out of their way to research a game that may be interesting to them; often potential unconventional gamers will see a gaming console as "off limits" in their house, and as being owned by someone else.
