CoD sells to everyone, the moms and dads buying it for their kids, the dads buying it for themselfs. teens buying it for them selfs and college students buying it for them selfs. While mario is much more dependant on parents buying it for their kids |
I have to disagree. All the underlined are just as likely to buy Mario for themselves. I bought NSMBW for myself when I was 30, my brother bought it for himself & his girlfriend when he was 28. Co-op mario is also a great "dorm room experience" for the college guys & girls. The only advantage it has with moms & dads buying it for their kids is that it's not hyper violent like COD, & some parents care about that stuff. The fact NSMBW sold more then any one COD on a single platform (ie MW3 360) indicates Mario is getting all the demographics, including the parents buying it for their children, but they are hardly dependent on them.
