Yes, the Wii worked. POST. LAUNCH. And it didn't filter outwards from the hardcore either. At this point in the cycle, no one except the Nintendo core were hyped for the Wii. Your circle of friends is not representative. This is what I'm trying to say. We're all in the core bubble where everything we do or see seems massively important. |
So, you're saying that the four hour line PRE LAUNCH at E3 2006 to play the Wii was just the Nintendo core? I understand what you're saying about the majority of potential consumers, but don't kid yourself that the Wii wasn't surrounded by positive anticipation at this point in its launch year while the Xbox One is, at this point, inarguably the opposite.
What you're not acknowledging is that it's not just forum dwellers and Youtube vloggers who are expressing their disappointment with what they've seen/heard, it's news outlets - both gaming and mainstream - and many developers as well. That could largely change after E3, but as of now the general consensus regarding Xbox One and many of its features is mostly negative.
