Forums - Gaming - Nintendo's Untapped Demographic

tehsage said:

Now, one of the major demographics that hasn't been tapped by Nintendo would have to be the PS360 userbase. Now, I know many of you, including myself, own a PS3, 360, or both, but there are still many people who only own an HD console.

With more games going Wii exclusive and third party developers taking the Wii seriously, when do you believe that the PS360 fans who refuse to purchase a Wii will realize that they're missing out on a great library of games (For an example, see No More Heroes)

 

With those who have the money to own more than one console, a Wii and an HD console are definitely a must to fully enjoy this gaming generation.

 

Also, those of you who don't have a Wii, what would it take for you to purchase one?

 

 Nintendo has tapped the PS360 userbase. Have you ever thought that there could be hardcore gamers that would like to find any game they can to play with their family or significant others and get them involved? PS360 is the wall between gaming with the family. The controller has a much larger learning curve than the Wii-mote.

Call it ignorance, but to set an example I didn't know about a single one of those games you posted, and as far as memory will go they will never be refferenced by me because I won't remember them - that is apathy.

As for your post having a wide variety of games is a plus, having many options within the same genres is also important, the only game on your list hat I recognize is Street Fighter which is a fighter and I'm guessing Forza Motorsport 3 is a car racing game - so you may be on to something.

However you seem to be more enlightened than I on the Wii line up so I'd hope you'd be just as generous with what games are coming out as you are with the HD consoles... or is that bias in your post?



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

@dib8rman

I'm sure you'll hear about those games next year. In fact maybe you'll be here next year asking if specific ones will be on PC.



Dib8rman: Your post is the very definition of ignorance. You've never heard of Resident Evil, Gran Turismo, or Halo? You have over 2,000 posts on this site, and you haven't even heard of some of the most discussed games on these forums?

This whole thread has degenerated into one gigantic, pathetic fanboy war. What about all the people who never bought a PS1 or PS2 but owned the other consoles? Fanboys will be fanboys. People who hate the Wii aren't going to buy it because of games like The Conduit and/or MadWorld. Stop overhyping those games. You're making the same mistake that Sony fans make and you're going to end up disappointed.

I have all the consoles this generation, and I'm not interested in the majority of Wii titles I hear about. To me, it sounds like a lot of these titles are playing catchup to genres popular on the HD consoles (The Conduit for shooters, MadWorld for gritty action games) instead of actually being able to stand up on their own. HD owners aren't going to buy the Wii for shooters, action games, and RPGs, they have enough already. This arrogance is getting really annoying. Of course you need a Wii to fully enjoy this generation. Hell, you needed a Jaguar to fully enjoy the 5th generation. That's why it's "fully."

Bahh, I'm done. I didn't want to sound like a jerk, but just about every post in this thread has annoyed me a lot.

I am going to name just one game, all the way from 2006, probably outdated now, but  i am that confiident about it.

 

Resistance: Fall of men

ANOTHER STANDARD FPS? :)

 

I stated the most outdated game, yet I dounbt the Conduit will be any better than that game, so once again, why would I need a wii for 3rd party games for ?

As a PS3 fan, the 360 is way more attractive to me, it has the games i like and want. I love to play Gears, ME, Crackdown and Fable 2.

Shit, just had to jump in here - Resistance is freggin awful. The Wii already has a better FPS, CoD:WaW.

 

OT: I don't think the Wii's western support will ever be all that significant. It looks like the people above (Legend, psrock) are only really interested in western games anyway, so they're pretty much out of reach. The "hardcore" who also want to game with non-gamer friends, or are into the more niche Japanese stuff will buy the Wii eventually.



@Montana

lured you out XD,

Of course I have, but like I said they wont be refference points of mine - my only mistake in that post was the usage of "never".

Also you keep point fingers without getting dirty, shirking responsibilty while wielding power - seems like a petty move but who am I.

Also your post is border line tangent to why your responding to my post - so if I respond any further I may lose my point and be degenerated into whatever you need me to be.

@Legend

Nope I don't play PC games anymore, PC just isn't my thing, theirs a lot of extras that come with owning a PC that I don't want. But thanks for telling me what I will like in the future, I'll keep and eye out for ... whatever that is.



Also I'm sorry that this thread annoys you, Mr. Hatchet. My self? I can't stop the feeling of anticipation and humor from these posts.

Ehh, your post didn't make any sense. I'm done here.

Well, I hope the 360 or PS3 get the COD WAW some day. lol

 

anyway, the 360 still has a a great library of games released in JAPAN this year, what's your point.

That's too bad, all I'm saying is.

1. You should take responsibilty for what you say, then you'd think twice before you speak generally.
2. That the entire point of your response to me had very little to do with my post
3. That I'm speaking about apathy so I may be surrounded by the kind of information you noted but I don't care enough to even remember them.

About 3: I said I should never have use the word "never" because I could find interest in those games, similarly to me finding interest in MGS4 or Mirriors Edge.

You can call me a fanboy if you want I'm happy knowing that I'm happy.
