It was gamers that were driving it. And yes, many of the people who love COD right now were wowed by Wii Sports back then. Even many of the bashers of Wii in this thread are saying they bought it and it sat there and collected dust...but they still bought it and since their on this site I assume they are gamers and likely owners of a non-Nintendo system. And my main point remains the same. The sales path of PS1 and Wii are 95% exactly the same. If you consider 95% the same to be nothing alike...there truly is no hope for you and you are blind to facts. |
Being able to find the right numbers to use is also a part of math, buddy. Oh and it was the gamers that were driving it, of course, I suppose you can prove that can't you? All those articles that say that the success of the Wii can be attributed to the casuals, families, kids etc. are all rubbish, no LastStarFighter says it was the gamers, well fuck that must be right. I mean I don't know a single Wii owner that considers himself a gamer but hey, if you say that's it then that has to be the case.
And your argument is so great, people in this thread are saying they bought a Wii, wow that must mean that the majority of gamers bought a Wii and then went from the Wii to the PS3/360, it couldn't be that the people on forums like this are the people that are way more likely to own multiple consoles anyway (btw. I never claimed that there were no core gamers on the Wii).
And you know what's really funny, I just looked at your graphs again and do you realize that the first bar in the PS1 diagram equals the first 2 fiscal years of the consoles life? Huh, that kinda destroys your whole point doesn't it? Damn. So at the point in its life where the Wii had already shipped 85% of its lifetime sales the PS1 had only just shipped over 50%? Gee.
Now it's up to you how you want to look at it, either we add the first 2 fiscal years of the Wii together as well
Or we split up the first 2 fiscal years of the PS1
Either way, the PS1 and Wii did not have remotely similar sales curves and the PS1 had a decidedly longer life. Discussion over.
