Strange article in a lot of ways.

First of all, why is it comparing the Wii to the GameCube and N64? They aren't the Wii's competition. Besides, they were consoles that were largely unsuccessful when compared to their rivals. Trumpeting the Wii having better numbers is a bit silly.

And why does the writer not seem to understand that "core" and "hardcore" are not the same thing? Does he think that all hats are necessarily hardhats?

It's also odd to me that the writer seems to think that all "core" games were bought by people who previously owned consoles, when I think it's safe to say that, with a console as popular and family-friendly as the Wii, many of those core titles were for kids for whom the Wii was their first real video-game console experience. There can be little doubt that the Wii had far more new recruits than the GameCube or N64.

This is like a peek at someone's rationalizations and justifications. I can't take this seriously.


stop making so much sense
