First off when does a video game company that specifically states on its website about the WiiU that it's a family fun console need to submit to the fanbase of 18-24 year old demo or the older gen who won't grow up and look at things logically? Here some harsh truth for you Nintendo wants to be a family base company and their is room for it. If you can't get off your gaming high horse and start realizing that as you become adults your tastes change doesn't mean you force a Family company to grow up with you. You play Xbox and PlayStation while my demographic should be buying and playing Nintendo consoles with their children and since we have jobs buy another console or PC to have some adult fun. Nintendo wants to be a family based company get over it |
The problem is does anyone want a 'family console' anymore?
You would think Nintendo would have a near monopoly on the kids market for example, surely most kids under the age of 14 should choose Nintendo, but in reality, it's actually Sony/MS that are still probably no.1 with that audience because as kids get a bit older they tend to want to play the same thing their older brother/cousin/sister is playing.
That concept worked well in the 80s/90s when the majority of the industry was just kids and the pandora's box of violent video games and edgier MTV/marketing for older kids/adults wasn't so much of a thing. But once that genie got out of the bottle, it's never been able to be bottled again and the industry changed forever.
If you showed someone from 1991 Grand Theft Auto they would be in disbelief at the level of violence in the game.
