Who supports their system the longest will be determined by which console keeps selling, earning the support. Case in point - Wii sales took a nosedive before the WiiU was announced. I remember when people here were discussing whether the Wii would eventually outsell the PS2 - it's going to come up 50 million short, because it didn't have longetivity. Creating a product with legs to sell over the long term has merit. There are movies like Titanic or E.T. that grow with time. Then there are movies like Twilight that do massive box office sales at the beginning, but see massive drops week to week. The Wii is Twilight. I bought one. I don't play it. People don't say Titanic's box office is irrelevant because it stayed in theatres longer to hit the numbers it did, even though it took a relatively long 25 days to reach $200 million. |
Yep after the fourth year the casual frenzy with the Wii was over. The glamour of the product was erased from the eyes of the casuals and the console demand plummetted. The Wii U demand did not cause the Wii demand to drop. Once the casuals didn't care it didnt matter.
