| pokoko said: Could it be a case where Nintendo's abandonment of the Wii actually hurts the Wii U? That people have "moved on"? That makes me wonder how many Wii owners have bought a PS3 or 360. The other part, which I think is factual enough to go beyond speculation, is that a higher number of Wii owners weren't gamers to begin with and only bought one because it went viral. They played it at someone's house, bought it, then got bored with it--not because the Wii itself is boring, I'm not saying that, but because they really weren't as interested in playing videogames as they thought, or because it was only fun for them in a group setting. I'm sure most of us know people who fit that description. I know a man who bought one because he thought it would help him to lose weight but, unfortunately, he got bored of exercising with it almost immediately. |
yeah thast kind of what i'm getting at. Because Nintendo pretty much abandoned the wii most people especially casual players don't see a reason why they should buy a console they'll play for a few months then never play it again.
And I can see this happening with people who buy an xbox just for Kinect. all they buy with it is just Zumba or Just Dance, they aren't the kind of people that will upgrade to a nextbox.
