| bigjon said: Now the Wii has a AAA killer ap core gamer's game in Brawl, I really don't see how you can say that the Wii is only selling to casuals. I would say that in 07 casuals made up a larger majority of total Wii sales. In 07 only Hardcore nintendo gamers, early adopters, and casuals were buying the Wii. Gamers for the most part were not. TP was really the only good game for gamers on the Wii for its first 10 months(until MP3), and gamers could play that on a Cube. I believe SMG really changed this and SSBB(In a HUGE way) will continue to bring "real" gamers onto the Wii. The best way to look at this is look at the sales of TP. TP is selling better now than it was 1 year ago... tell me how that is happening. 2 things are possible 1. Casuals are looking for deeping gaming experiances 2. Gamers are migrating to the Wii |
hum, NO
2007 : first purchaser : mostly hardcore gamer (Ninty fan in fact) + casual
2008 : second purchaser : mainly casual
Brawl : it is not a hardcore game, it is a hardcore/casual game it is why it is selling to everybody and moving so much console.
TP sales : you are saying the game has amazing legs as many Wii games. Isn't it expected from casual who buy games later ?
Whatever, I never said Wii is only selling to casual. But I believe they are the main purchaser (as for the PS2 since 3 years).
Time to Work !
