| Gamerace said: I think the people who have a negative association are the core gamers who won't buy WiiU regardless of what it's called because it's not (significantly) more powerful than their current HD console and has another 'gimmicky' controller. Casuals have no negative association from all the non-gaming people I know who own a Wii. Many are using it for Just Dance right now. Many may no longer use it, but it doesn't mean they regret purchasing it. They had fun and that's a good association. Just because 'core' gamers expect five years of enjoyment from their purchase doesn't mean the casual audience ever had that expectation. However, I do think WiiU is a dumb and non-productive name (it doesn't effectively transmit the ideas Nintendo wants to convey) and may make many think it's another accessory for Wii instead of a new system. |
I agree with this to an extent, however although they had fun for awhile, that doesnt mean they will jump in. They might remember they had Wii and used it for a little while and got maybe three games. Then they might figure why get a Wii U if they know they wont use it as much, im not saying this will happen but it might.
