I mean there are 20-million Wii's and only about 10% are downloading content. As for whether people are willing to download classics. Fact is the hardcore gamers are going to want to buy at least one classic. I can gaurantee every hardcore Nintendo gamer is going to want at least a single classic game. That means only 10% of the user base is hardcore. The attach rate of VC games shows the success of Nintendo's online network and the installed user base of hardcore Nintendo fanboys. How many hardcore gamers are there how many online gamers are there how many buyers are willing to purchase online games. That is all important! |
Well, since this is a "hardcore" issue in your eyes, wouldn't many "hardcore" gamers already have a lot of these games? More casual gamers are far less likely to have classic games, so I'd think that a lot of the VC downloads come from non-"hardcore" gamers. I'd think a "hardocore" gamer would be less likely to download, unless there are financial reasons or they prefer the convenience of the VC.
Personally, I'd rather play a game with the old console or controllers it was made for. I think it's ridiculous that you think everyone who downloads is "hardcore".
