No surprise there. Wii is a system for families, 360 has a decent selection of kids games and is popular with the teens and PS3 - well at $400 no one buys a PS3 for thier kids, adults buy it for themselves. As a consequence PS3 has very few games for young kids. Very few.

Wii = toy confirmed?

 

hmm i always though all my video GAME systems were toys.



this is the real problem with the core market. No market share for the largest share of video game sales, family friendly games.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

makes sense the wii is alot more appealing to little kids which is what Toys R Us caters to. But its smart business overall



Long Live SHIO!

What's the deal against Toys R' Us. They have quite nice prices and even some sweet deals (like the Soul Bubbles exclusive for the DS) my only complain against them is that their employees doesn't know anything about videogames. (like the gamestop employees........ well those only knows what the hype says)



This is kinda obvious. Who goes to toys r us? kids. What system to kids want?Wii/DS



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

 

Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.

My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.

I would imagine every Toys R Us has a larger Nintendo section.

The rest of the shop is selling toys for young children.



 

Nintendo products (Wii/DS) just appeal to the "toy"people better.

Wii, PS3 and xbox 360 are all toys, the are the most popular toys around, it was confirmed that video games consoles are the most popular toys of all toys.( I saw is in top 10 2004), they are something you play with.
