A lot of people like thinking that gamers fit into a single stereotypical demographic. For a lot of reasons that are unlikely to change through out this generation the Wii has a lot of support from the following (non-exclusive) categories: - Family Gamers ==> Casuals
- Social Gamers ==> Casuals
- Old-School gamers ==> what do u mean ??? old school Ninty games ? ==> Nintendo fans
- "Blue-Ocean" gamers ==> lol ? dont get ur point = casuals ?
- Nintendo Fans ==> OK
- Core Gamers ==> ... what is Core gamers for you ? for me, it is GTA+Madden+GT = Xbox360/PS3/Wii
The only categories of gamers I think Nintendo has yet to (really) gain a lot of support from are
"Mature" gamers YES
and Sports/Racing gamers YES ==> 2 HUGE category in term of games released AND games sales. I could have also divided this category to make the impression PS360 are targetting a lot of different markets as u have done with the CASUALs market.
; to put numbers to it, Nintendo is doing well with 80% of gamers and poorly with 20% of gamers. In contrast the support flips when you're talking about the PS3 and XBox 360.
==> u are right but most of these "80%" are basically casuals/non gamers that are, usually, not interested in video games or/and dont buy a console early in a generation AND dont buy a lot of games : Nicole Kidman says "Hi!". |

Wow, the ignorace with your post is strong ... Just because a gamer doesn't play the generic FPS, Racing and Sports games that people typically associate with "Gamers" does not mean that they're any less likely to buy a system early in its life, or to buy a lot of games throughout the generation. |
==> sorry, for me, hardcore gamers :
buy console earlier, buy more games, play more games, put more money on gaming
BY OPPOSITION, IN AVERAGE, casuals gamers :buy console later, buy less games, play less games, put less money on gaming (that explain less games)
For the FIRST time, a console is dedicated to them : the Wii (see Wii advertising if u dont trust me)
