if this is accurate this answers some questions but bring up a bunch more, why is the female ratio so bad? |
Because mario isn't as hot as nathan drake or master chief.

You think 60% of the people who play wiiU are 25-99?
See, I just don't think that's accurate. That's even older than the ps or xb owners.
Also, the median age of a first time mother is 24. So, half the population is younger, half older. It's reasonable to say your average thirty year old+ has a kid of about 5-10

First of all, 2D Mario Games are much more accessible than 3D Mario Games, even if we as gamers see them as both being simple. People who don't traditionally play games can jump into 2D mario and play it with some level of competence, and jumping in isn't as simple with 3D Mario Games. You also have the fact that NSMB came out after what, 14 years of no 2D mario games? Everybody who wanted that sort of experience got it with these games, which also happened to fall on tremendously popular consoles inviting in a huge audience of non-fans. 3D Mario games have been releasing in a fairly steady stream and they aren't as accessible and they aren't as low supply as 2D mario games. Now with the 3DS and the Wii U, after 2D Mario games have increased in supply, the demand has largely normalized to the point where sales are quite close between the 3D and the 2D Mario games. Then you have franchises like Kirby, Metroid, Zelda, Pokemon etc which have all shown fairly consistent sales numbers across the board with games like Metroid, Zelda and Kirby having fairly radical changes while maintaining the user base...I don't think you have enough evidence to support your point here

I'll address the first point later, but I have to go out now.
As for the second, why would I put my cc data on an account my kid would be using?
Also, that presentation was meant to get Unity developers onto the WiiU system.

Hit up youtube and check out the people running nintendo specific gaming channels, report back with the average age of said user.
soo.. what about Dragon Age Inquisition, Shadow of mordor, GTAV, etc etc? ah sry, i forgot those games are not a reason to buyg a console

I think you misunderstood me...if anything that supports my point. All I was saying is why would my demographic data use CC information when it has NNID demographic infomation that is easier to obtain, more complete and more accurate?

Nintendo handhelds are blockbusters but if we're talking home consoles only the Wii has outsold a PS home console,the others don't even come close
don't see what is so unusual here,anyone thinking the Wii casuals were moving on to the WIiU were in dreamland
Every story has to be about something i suppose

That's called selective data.
If I wanted to find the average age of people who liked looking at naked ladies would I go to a strip club and poll the people there?

Why would you assume that the main person using the console would be inputting the NNID?
Also, it has to be NNID, because there's no other way to get gender.
My objection would be assuming that people filling out the NNID are the users.

I think actually that zelda is somewhat growing in popularity actually. I'm not saying that 2d is better than 3d. I don't care to be so specific about the reasons why someone prefers a type of game over another to such an extent. I'm saying that people went out and made NSMB such a gangbuster because the people who grew up with the exact type and style of game went out and bought it, or bought it for their kids to kind of "share" their first game, etc. I think the main zelda fanbase right now grew up on ocarina type games, and that base is increasing, and kind of revealing when you compare a similar remake- ocarina for 3ds and compare it to say the "link to the past" remake. ie; I think the majority of the mario fanbase exists since mario 1. |
as much as i wish that to be true I see no evidence for that. The series has stayed pretty much the same sales wise since OOT, hell it even dropped a bit
