| stof said: I don't think your trying to bash the Wii at all Legend. Why? Becausey you just compared it to the two most successful consoles of their generations. The Atari 2600 was the first massively purchased console. It appealed to people that never gamed before and managed to move 26 million units. The NES revived console gaming after the great crash of 83/84 by significantly expanding the videogame market to include those that hadn't played before. |
lol yeah Nintendo can only hope this trend is followed. IMO I do think history is repeating itself. The Wii is repeating what the DS did. I had never heard more people complain about a game system in my life than did about the DS. "No hardcore games." "All they care about are casuals, the PSP is the system for gamers." The DS in fact took MUCH longer to get major hardcore Nintendo games out than the Wii is. 3 years later, the DS continues to blow away the PSP in attach rate, 3rd party, and first party software sales. he DS library is double that of the PSP, with lots of variety and an amazing mix of hardcore and casual games. The PSP gets some occaissional great games (Crisis Core, Castlevania), but the DS get's the majority of major development focus. So yeah, history repeats itself. PS360 = PSP. Wii = DS.
