| Yakuzaice said: Casuals come late in the generation for a reason. That reason is lower prices. If you think the Wii U can double 2014 without a price cut, what is causing casuals to buy now? Why didn't they buy a month ago? Also, while casuals come late in the generation, I'm not sure what evidence there is that they come in droves to Nintendo home consoles. The Wii U will be entering its fourth fiscal year in April. Which Nintendo home console peaked that late? Not the N64, that peaked in its second fiscal year. Not the Gamecube, that peaked in its second fiscal year. Not the Wii, that peaked in its third fiscal year. So you think the Wii U (and 3DS) will double this year without a price cut. Now think about this for a moment. Are you making this prediction based on what you want to happen or what is actually realistic? |
The reason is not only lower price.. having fun/good games.. and knowing the console also helps..
They didn't buy a PS4 and One either.. but that dosent change the fact that a lot of "casuals" (kids 6-15 and more relaxed gamers at 15+) will get a gen 8 console.. even so they have not decided/thougt about it yet..
And fine you are sure that the casuals wont "come in droves" to Nintendo home consoles (like last gen) (don't know what you mean by droves.. i'm only talking double WiiU 2014.. Not that WiiU start selling like wii when it was best)
WiiU is from November 2012.. just over 2 years.. 1 year older than ps4 and one.. (and have only first used some of the big guns last half year)
And last.. I believe this will happen.. And what I Wants to happen is that.. WiiU triple in 2015 and double that in 2016..
(and I could also see that happen.. But not to make this to complicated.. (this will require not yet showed/revaled thing/games) I will save that until we see It's on track to double 2014 :)
