Right. That's not really the point though. Getting an adult to even play video games is a challenge. Do you really think there's not much barrier to getting people to even trying out video games? There really is a barrier and Nintendo is trying to tear that wall down. |
I agree with you. I'm all for tearing down that barrier. I think the games I mentioned above, as well as Rock Band and DDR have done that with a younger demographic that didn't already play videogames.
Will Wii Fit get older people to play more? Sure. But it's still not as much of a social game as the ones previously mentioned. I also don't think that older people that buy the game will suddenly start playing a lot of other games.
It's the same with those other games. Casual gamers will play those and love them (also Mario Party), but it's not like they will then start playing No More Heroes.
There's no denying that Wii Fit is already successful, but it's no more a revolution for social gaming than Rock Band is.
