No More Heroes, good game, lame sales.
What percentage of the fabulous Wii numbers are bought by financially independent gamers, or at least gamers that have more than some say towards the games they eventually get? 10%? 20%?
So one should consider a 9 million install base when judging the sales of violent, hardcore games. But maybe that's a good thing. Too much violence anyway.
I think the Wii will save the gaming industry from oppressing censorship :).

....The average Wii user is in their thirties.

So you're below average then?

 



Tease.

Are you shure it's not the average Wii BUYER?

Cause that WOULD make sense.

MadWolrd isn't even a game worth bashing. I said it wasn't that great before it came out, and I'm sticking to that.

This is only an average Wii game that was hyped because it's M-rated. I figured it would sell a lot more than it did, but it's not a big deal. Wake me up when something that actually has relevance under performs on the Wii. I troll with you guys when that happens.

Well, I would like to see a source for that?

Plus, I don't know how you can be sure. 

Cause it don't seam like it from the games that sell. I mean, if true, and say half of them are male, and say 10 percent of those males behave like males normaly would and want blood and gore, that sould mean 2.4 million potential violent game buyers for the Wii. I don't see that in the numbers. Do you?

Don't pigeonhole buying demographics into cliches and blurbs, you will not be able to predict anything.

Let's see here.... this one's just about Japan, but I'll try to find more:
