Then it wasn't a bubble, because it lasted. Wii sold huge software and hardware numbers while it was supported. That's all there is to it. Do you call the ps2 and psp bubbles?

The ps2 userbase went to the wii, ps3 and x360, but the wii got more than the others.

By that logic, the sone home console userbase has declines since the first playstation, with ps2 turning it around credited to it's dvd player. Games are what sold those consoles, no excuses.

Core gamers did buy a Wii, but many didnt stick around. They moved to other consoles.

I bought a Wii primarily for some Nintendo stuff and some 3rd party core. Quite frankly, the 3rd party stuff I bought wasnt successful and thats why core support died on Wii U.

The casual software sales this gen are way down. Because that audience is gone, likely using mobile devices. The audience for motion devices dried up (thats the bubble, motion devices). The tablet control was even less desireable than motion controls though.

I explained the PS2 audience primarily went with PS3 and 360. The mobile console is ptretty much dead because of the phone.

If it just took games to sell a console than Wii U and Vita wouldnt be sales disasters. Wii succeeded so well because of a good gimmick, Wii U doesent have that.

Such a claim without any data doesn't mean anything.

You're simply making stuff up as you go, throwing terms like "casual" and "bubble"

You SAID the ps2 audienced wnet to ps3 and 360, you didn't explain or prove it.

Both vita and wii u don't have lots of games when compared to previous and current consoles, how do you fail to see that?
