YOli-4 on 30 June 2008
Couldn't it be that the Wii's success comes with the target group and the social aspects?
I mean - most of those "hardcore gamers" play alone or online in AGAINST each other. Wii games though include a competition too but its mainly about playing together.
I know a lot of people who bought themselves a Wii but almost never play alone. They just start playing when inviting some friends and having fun doing crazy and new games.
I would compare this to the Eye-Toy, Singstar, Buzz games:
you got easy controls (even for non-gamers) - new ideas - and something worth playing with others - so you don't feel like a geek that has no friends at all. You don't want to be the one told "get a life" or stuff like that.
