| PDF said: @Avinash - I said there is no real proof on either side. I did acknowledge that wii sports was a title that drew many people to the wii. If you want me to present the other side I will. Lets take a look at the xbox. A system that has very dependent on the fps/sport gamer. You could figure that most xbox owners were that type of audience. So lets say about 15m of them were. Then you got all the ps2 users of that type of gamer. It is much harder to grab a # out of the PS2 since the ps2 had far more varied type of gamers. It would obviously not be less than the xbox. So lets say about 30m ps2 owners were that type of gamer. I believe far more were tho. So since thisabout the ps2 not the ps2+xbox you have about 30m gamers that are not going to buy the Wii. The Wii will have to pick up atleast 30m new gamers. |
Much more than 30 million people in the world who didn't play games last gen
