Of course not, it's rather refreshing...

But name me one character in that picture that most male 13-40 yr olds are going to look at on a game box and feel that they have to get that game?

None.

The Wii, as the rest of Nintendo attests, at the moment, is a kiddies and their parents box.

Now, this doesn't mean that there aren't a few developers bringing supposed "hardcore" games to it. I am genuinely interested in seeing how The Conduit, Madworld and S&P2 go. But I get the feeling, it won't be as good sales figures as some would hope.

Devs now turning to the Wii for development are only doing so because of the install base - but they are taking a risk trying to make the same games as the PS360 for an audience whose main demographic these games don't appeal to.

Why is it that "most" gamers who says Wii is for kiddies are around the age of 15-25? aah now I see it they all began playing during the PS1 and early PS2 era.


Kinda funny of all my friends only 2 of them own a PS3 and none a 360 but atleast 15 of us own a Wii

By the way we are all 25+.

Sort of.

It appeals to the kid inside you.

I considered writing a long post like I normally do, but I think that sentence alone sums it up.

 Well said. I agree completely (despite not owning a Wii)

Kids Love wii fit, or at least the kids that have played on mine.

Its the only console this generation that has a game with Captain Falcon, therafore its manly.

Oh noes. I can't be a real gamer unless I game on a real console. Gepetto, make me a real gamer. The gaming elite says I can't join their super elite club with my go-go-gadget Wii toy

Say it ain't so. Say it ain't so.

Why, world, why? Why is it that my console has almost as many sold as the other two combined but my console is the one treated as an outcast, an afterthought, a toy, an illegitimate entry? Why I ask you, why?

Did we do something wrong? Do we not deserve to take a place among the consoles of the past? Are we not gamers too?

Do we not game among you? Why must we be relegated to second hand status? Such oppression by the elite minority.

I admit it. I game on the Wii and I'm proud of it. I am a gamer and I waggle with honor.

I see the Wii as a games machine that lets me have fun and I will do (allmost) anything that is fun and it doesn’t mater if it is for kids or adults. No I do not see it as a kid’s console I see it as an “everybody” console.

Viper, I enjoy each and every post you make :)

Good therefore i really enjoy kiddy console.
