| MikeB said: I think both the PS2 and Wii play an important role in this market. I predicted the Wii would perform much better than the GameCube performed at a time when everyone spelled its doom, the same for the PS2 if you believed many posters the platform would have been totally dead right now. I don't think many younger kids will own more than 1 platform at a time and this is the market segment where the PS2 and Wii really thrives, I don't expect their parents to run out and buy them a 360 anytime soon. Also IMO a console aimed at kids should be very sturdy and not die or scratch disc if you don't take excellent care. |
the average age of Wii owners is 29! that is much higher than average age of ps360 owner
wii is not a 'kiddie' console nor is it 'aimed at kids'...it is aimed at adults and people of all ages
ps360 are aimed at teenagers that still think 'mature' means blood and guts and sex and violence
Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08. Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could.
