Why should they? Those $1 games keep their attention for a while and then there are 1000 others waiting once they tired of that one. This generation will see a contraction over 5 years IMO. PS2 + XBox = 175 million sold approx. PS3 + 360 = 140 million sold approx. To me this doesn't show a lot of growth outside when looking at non-Nintendo platforms. |
Good point. I don't see many casual Wii owners moving to either PS4 or X1, though little kids growing up with the Wii who now want more hardcore experiences will.
