Say what you want, but I haven't played a single Call of Duty game in my life. I have played maybe one of the sports games for like an hour at my brothers, and the last sports game that I bought was for the sega genesis. I haven't put a penny in the pockets of those rehash abominations pockets, and I actively avoid supporting the companies that make them.
But yea, the majority of people out there are exactly as described in the video... This is why a lot of people don't really know what they are talking about when they argue about the console wars. Like it or not, games like The Last of Us aren't the console sellers. Having a lot of those certainly helps, but it isn't the big issue.
Bigger issues to consider are things like word of mouth. That is what killed the Wii U. Even if people were really happy with their Wii experiences, the word of mouth was sheer hatred for the console.
Another big issue would be that the Wii U's potential wasn't really that obvious to the average lay person. People have dreamed of motion controls for years, and that dream is what sold the Wii, forget how well the motion controls actually performed, people wanted to see it for themselves. Nintendo would have been smarter to release the Kinect themselves 2 years after the Wii first came out, then release the occulus rift 2 years after that. Pachter called it. Those are ideas which WOW people.
