90% of Wii advertisements focused on family. Families sat together, having fun. Wii Fit focused on the mothers and grandparents who wanted to keep fit but didnt want to go to the gym. The Wii was the personal trainer. The Wii has Netflix, and was at one point the top Netflix console. The Wii was aimed at everyone, not just kids. A lot of Wii games had a childish focus, but a lot of Wii games also had a multiplayer and party focus. It was aimed at families. It was aimed at mums. It was aimed at grandparents. It was aimed at the everyday gamer. The Wii broke records for a reason. |
I know, but it wasn't aimed at dads. And dads generally are the money-makers of the family (in general). And a lot of what was aimed at families worked but subsequently a lot of the content was aimed at kids and that didn't follow the Wii's strategy. Most was 3rd party but that has an effect on the console's percepted value.
This box is different, it appeals to the whole family, not just moms, kids and grandparents, and appeals to more needs than the Wii did. Netflix is good, but we're talking about live TV and stuff. It's much more complete as a package.
