It is true in America as well. Ipads, pods, and phones and any other type of tablet such as kindle, galaxy and Nook are pushing through. Kids these days could give a crap about Mario. They did not grow up with him. All they know is that they cannot afford a 40 dollar mario game. What they can afford and do more with are free apps, facetime, free phone time and texting with the pod, free, free, free. Kids want that, because then they do not have to think about going out and buying games or having their parents do it for them. Now even if they want something that cost money the lazy parent just says do not spend over 20 bucks today and leaves the credit card.
Future generations of consoles will only get worse unless something is done. |
Ryan... a lot of kids still love Mario and still grow up with him. Even the Preppy people I hand around sometimes know what Mario is! One girl loves Mario Kart. She also played SSBB before and she adores her Wii. I never thought I would witness her say she like Mario. Another is in love with Pokemon... yet never talks about it because it would ruin her "image." I'm sorry, but you are wrong.  (In a sense.)

Ninpie...just look at Nintendo numbers in the West. Everyone of my kids and their friends have some sort of isomething or tablet. Even my younger ones ask fro a ipod or pad for Christmas and there birthdays, my youngest walks around with a fake toy one pretending that is an iphone instead of playing his DS or 3DS.
Maybe that is how you feel and your friend, but obviously is not the case for every kid. You have said yourself many times over, that you have little money and are saving for a Wii U and Animal Crossing and pikmin. Ipads give you thousands of free games and apps and everything else at the touch of a button. Tell me that kids do not want that.

I already have an iPod Touch and a MacBook... that is enough Apple for me. A lot of kids (like me) get spoiled from their Parents/GrandParents so they have more than one thing to play. Like I do. A TON of kids have an iPod Touch but a TON of kids also have a DS. The 3DS will turn out just the same, possibly even better.
It's true that kids/teens want Apple things and Tablets and stuff, but Nintendo is still very popular with people, always will be.
