The same folk that didn't bought a PS3 before Sony gave them what they wanted and prefer a 360 or a Wii meanwhile. People is not going to buy a console for loyal (except few). People is going to play when they have games they like. |
You are missing his point. The wii sold around a 100M consoles. Just like the PS1 did too. The PS2 sold 150M and the GC and XBOX still had nearly 50M of sales shared between them. The PS1 showed it expanded th eindustry cause not onlyhad a console never sold so much, but it carried over all those gamers into the PS2 and added more. The wii didn't do that with the wiiU. It got people that wouldn't have bought a console into buying one, but it didnt convert them. So it just lost them to smartphones and tablets.
If you look at sales of the PS3/360, they total around 160M. Doesn't that seem familiar to you, thats around how much the PS2 sold. The expanded gamer base sony achieved with the PS2, it lost a lot of those gamers to the 360. The consumers wii brought in aren't being lost to the PS4/XB1... they aren't even in this space anymore. They are playing their games on their phones or tablets. And thats why nintendo is in the position they are in now. Cause now, for the first time in over 8/9yrs. They are trying to compete in the same space with sony and MS again for the same kinda gamers.
