That's why I call it the "true" level of hype. Right now, all hype is questionable because people are always capable of changing their minds. How much of that hype remains by launch, is the "true" level of hype. It's about having so much excitement, to a point where opinions of others won't phase you. That is truly a high level of hype. It's not a narrow definition, it's the end result of the constant fluctuations of hype. If we didn't have any new footage of this game, would people still be talking about it like they're doing now? What's your point with that though? That because Wii Sports Resort happened, my idea breaks apart and no longer applies? Yes that's true, it's an exception like I said, so what? Again I ask, tell me of a time that a Wii Sports-like phenomenon happened? |
See, I'd say hype doesn't have to result in a sale to exist; it can exist, then not pay off. It can fail.
My point on WSR is simply that it shows sales and hype don't always correlate.
