they know what they are buying: something that plays wii sports and has motion controls...u don't need to know every aaa game out there to make an informed decision...many of them don't care about aaa games as they are usually more involved and 'hardcore' games...they care about the game that fancies them on the store shelf
casual gamer is what gave ps2 the huge win...u can't underestimate the casual gamer....and wii gets people that go beyond casual gamers...the 100s of millions who haven't owned a console in at least 10 years
incorrect re: being able to meet any demand...they don't make the parts, they have to have suppliers make them...u can't say they should be able to meet 5mil/month demand or 10mil/month demand
data shows that no 1 or 2 or 3 new ips moves the needle...even gc with biggest franchises (mario, smash, mario kart, zelda, pokemon, res evil, etc) couldn't make a move
Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08. Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could. Hit, with room to spare I bet kingofwale a 1-week ban that wii Americas ltd sales>360 Americas ltd sales as of the numbers for week ending 7/05/08 (using vgchartz homepage #s)
