OP - what's wrong with SMS? That is my favorite Mario game.

Usually, people buy consoles that feature the games they want to play. So one can decuce that obviously, the majority of teenagers don't, infact, want to play MK. I mean, I play MK. I own a Wii-U. But bringing it up at work with other guys? It's just...it's not possible. All I ever hear is "you getting on COD bro" and "I played Madden last night online against this guy...." I honestly don't believe the majorty of teenage boys would be caught dead playing it. I'm sure it's one of those things where the majorty of them actually DO like it, or would like it, but peer pressure at that age>you own wants or needs. |
There are a bunch of games that people enjoy but won't buy a $300-400 console specifically to play it. Being down with MK could simply mean playing it at a friends house who does own it.
And yes many teenage boys would be caught playing it, I was a teenager just a few short years ago, I was a bit of a jock/popular in high school and most of my friends did enjoy Mario Kart, it doesn't mean they always bought a console specifically to play it but they still enjoyed the game nonetheless.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Why would they not buy a Wii-U then? If teenagers love Nintendo games, why aren't they buying Nintendo consoles? I'm being serious here. I just don't get it.
i would take it one step further and ask when will Nintendo be cool again?
Mario is still the greatest video game franchise after all these years, he has never been cool, he is walking on much higher ground.

I think sales would argue otherwise
Nintendo was cool just a few years ago, we gonna act like the Wii/DS era some how was 20 years ago? C'mon.
Apple just stole their thunder, who knows though with Nintendo they have a habit of coming up with something crazy out of nowhere that becomes big.

Nobody said anything about Nintendo games, our entire conversation is strickly about one single series, Mario Kart. For one, a single game is not enough for most people to spend $300 on a console. Also like I said they enjoy, that doesn't necessarily mean they are a huge fan of it, being able to play it casually every once in a while at a friend or family members house may be enough for them.
I'm sure there are plenty things u enjoy but that doesn't mean u are willing to spend a few hundred dollars for it. I'll give an example, a bit of an extreme example but it should get my point across. I enjoy eating toast for breakfast, I eat it at least 1-2 times a week. If toasters cost $300 would i buy one just to eat toast? No, not at all. If I was at a friend or family members house that had a toaster and offered me toast, would i accept? Hell yeah I would.
Just because somebody enjoys or likes something, it doesn't necessarily mean they will own it.
