Who says they don't play it?
When the Wii came out, people would show off Wii Sports to their friends, and those friends would go out and buy a Wii to play the game.
That's how the Wii became a phenomenon, because people loved playing Wii Sports.
In addition there is word of mouth, if your friend or someone else whose opinion you trust tells you something is awesome, you're more likely to try it out.
Not to mention people can see videos of games online, if the game looks awesome then they will be more likely to try it out (as a personal example, seeing splatoon's video made me really excited for the game) |
you just said they didnt. If they arent upgrading how can they play? if they cant play? how can they know if its good or not? And no watching a video online will never be a replacement for actually playing the game. Same with word of mouth, im sure you've heard good things about a game but you didnt end up liking i know i did. And is a person really going to pluck down money for a hardware by word of mouth? kind of doubt it.

Trying it at a friends house is playing it without upgrading
People did so for the Wii, it was sold by people trying wii sports at friends house, getting word of mouth and seeing videos of it on TV and Youtube
These inspired many people to go out and buy the Wii for the games like Wii sports

for that to happen people would have to actual buy the systems. Not like Ninty was giving them away for free. And for them to want to buy the system they would have to have been inticed by what they saw. Obviously people arent inticed with WIiU so they are not buying them and the ones who did buy them arent gettign their friends to buy them. And lets be real its not like everyone has a friend who has every game system...unless you are still in grade school
|
Many have heard the poor word of mouth or seen videos of the games and decided it's not worth buying
|
or they have heard no word of mouth cause not that much people are buying it, which is just as bad as bad word of mouth. But at the end of the day it comes down to people not caring
