I can't believe people are actually arguing this. I personally think that it's a ridiculous justification. I guess it didn't hurt the Wii much but it is hurting the WiiU now. Also do you truly believe that the 20 percent that doesn't have internet are the type that would buy a gaming console?

I mean the same survey you showed suggests that around 15 percent don't have cell phones. People who fall under that category are either very poor or they are very conservative or whatever. I'm not saying that all console owners have internet but I'm pretty sure that the percentage would be at least 95%.


Indeed, I can't believe people are arguing this.

 

The 20% was for 2012, USA with any internet access. Please refer to it as ~50% in the future to refer to worldwide, 2006, with broadband.

 

The point is that the Wii wanted to appeal to everyone, as I said just above. You know who everyone includes? EVERYONE. You know those 'Wii used in retirement homes' stories? Yeah, they are part of everyone.

 

And yes, as I also said above, I know plenty of gamers that, haven't had sufficient internet access.

 

Infact, ignore this post and just read my one aboev, as you clearly didn't read it originally. And please, when you read it, actually pay attention, and base your opinion on facts, not on things like "Nintendo said it, therefore I must disagree with it." If Nintendo reps told you not to jump off a bridge, would you jump?


You must not know me if you think I hate Nintendo. I'm just saying that the justification is very dumb "appealing to everyone" well then why does the WiiU have HD?

You're the one that's being very defensive, seeing as how you got upset about my post. If you still can't see how ridiculous the "appeal to everyone" excuse then nothing will change your mind.
