Dispelling the myth: The Wii market is (NOT) bigger than the HD twin market

fair enough, but they were always on the decline and they never sold as well as at least one of the HD console versions, he says that core gamers left they Wii, I dont buy that as we have evidence to suggest that they were ALWAYS on another console. or at the very least, they had two and slowly stopped playing one of them

Thanks :).

Well, I don't think he was arguing that the sales weren't on other platforms at first, I think, and I could be wrong, I think he was mostly arguing that they were on Wii also, and that changed for the worse over time, due to poor support of that market over time.

fair enough, I still stand by that this was going to happen regardless. people especially people who actually play video games on the regular are not stupid. They knew how it was going to go down with Wii as soon as they saw what it was capable of and what it wasnt capable off, in stark contrast to the HD systems. Funny thing is alot of games did get downported and their own versions. But they didnt sell well, because they simpler werent as good. More power under the hood, the more you can do, its really that simple. If you have the option to get the better version of something, why would you not get it?
