I have noticed that it's only the Sony/MS fanboys who mysteriously know tons of people who bought a Wii and never play it....

 

Hey! I have a wii... I still play it in 1 hour spurts every 6 or 7 months.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

I stop playing my Wii when I am taking the time to figure out what to play next. I think that i'm going to go play Mario Kart Wii. It's as good as every game ever made put together times seven.

You can't read anything more into my anecdotal data than anyone else's, but the attach rates The Source posted show that people are buying Wii games at a record rate for a Nintendo console. An attach rate of four games in the first year is unprecedented.

If you look at the data, you'll see the number of games bought by the avarage person has gone up. Or, that they are buying games more often. People are buying more games in general.

Also, the idea that all core gamers are either children or unemployed (or even most) is laughable. This alone makes anything you say less credable then Soriku (spelling) by the simple fact that what you say can not be true. I know your argument isn't ment to be exact facts, but dont question some one else's theory if your going to give BS.

I have heard of this trend and as a longtime gamer I know that often the games that have the initial "WOW this is fun" factor are also the ones that go flat very fast. Conversely often games that start out as "omg this is so slow I want to kill myself" blossom into the deepest and entertaining experiences. And the greatest games of all time have been the ones that WOW'ed you from day one but moved you even after the 100th time you've played it.

So my point is: If someone has bought a Wii just for Wii sports or for shits and giggles here and there they most likely will get bored of it. The question is how do we get these people to smarten up and enjoy the real gems of the system. Truth is: I don't know. I tried to get my GF to play Zelda and RE4 on Gamecube I almost put my head through the wall.

(Ironically she does well with Zelda DS and and thousand year)

LOL!

People who stop plazing their Wiis just need to buy more games.
