Realistically, the one demographic where Nintendo has little or no chance of being successful with the Wii is the 13 to 21 year old male demographic ... This demographic is the most obsessed with both "Mature" content (Drugs, Sex, Violence, Crime and Profanity) as well as meaningless techical performance (computer hardware, sports cars, etc.). While Nintendo has (essentially) abandoned these gamers in favour of the general market, Sony and Microsoft have abandoned the general market in order to attract these gamers. The original poster fits right into this demographic, and it is not surprising that he doesn't like Nintendo anymore. I expect that he will age, go to college, get a job and a steady girlfriend and his perception of Nintendo will (likely) change when he is in his early to mid 20s. |
This is the sillyest thing I've read in a while. You are categorizing all gamers that prefer ps360 as immature late teen early 20's gamers. Thats like me saying that all Wii's are purchased by the late 30's/early 40's people and used to entertain guests as its good social fun. And by 9 to 12 year old kids who like teletubby's and saying the words "Wii". Also about your technical performance analogy...if one can afford a powerful sports car, there is no reason why they'd drive anything else. Most people settle for a ford focus not cause they want to... i'm not saying that Wii is only bought by people who can't afford ps360 but I don't think there is such thing as meanigless technical performance. Otherwise we'd all be stuck in a sea of mediocrity. If you can't see what techncial performance brings to gaming with games like GTA4...then I don't know what else I can say. |
Maybe its 'silly' because your reading comprehension is very limited ... I never once suggested that PS3 or Xbox 360 fans were all teenagers! I suggested that teenage boys were far more likely to be fans of the PS3 or XBox 360 (or more appropriately less likely to be fans of the Wii) which is supported by the demographic information which has been gathered for each of the systems; it is also (generally) true that the activities that teenagers see as being immature become more acceptable in their 20's, and the activities they used to see as being Mature become far less acceptable. Beyond that, I can afford a powerful sports care but don't own one because it is completely impractical and it doesn't suit my needs at all. People quite often choose their ecconomical vehicle because it is a better fit for their lifestyle not because it is the only car they can afford. |
I can't see a dude in his late 20's early 30's thats a gamer coming home from an exhausting day at work and turning on a wii and having mario jump around while yelling "whoopie!". I'd go postal myself... I personally need to unwind by blowing off some steam while blowing off some heads. |
As a person that's been a Nintendo go from his mid 20s to late 30s, you don't know what you're talking about. Sounds more to me that this is a personal issue, and maybe you could use some theraputic medication.
