i agree about WiiU though |
Look at Nintendo's numbers since the NES:
62 mil for NES
49 mil for SNES
32.9 mil for N64
22 mil for Gamecube
100 mil for Wii
18 mil for Wii U...
An obvious downward trend followed by a huge spike that defies pretty much all logic; and then followed by a huge dropoff for the Wii in its later years and it's successor. That's pretty indicative of a fad. Notice how in the same year that the Wii had a 31% drop in sales- the PS3 and 360 were actually up yoy... and were consistently selling better than the Wii over a longer period of time. The fact that it's still selling software made for the casual audience is because of its 100 mil+ stong install base of a mostly casual audience.
