Forums - Nintendo Discussion - My Theory as to why the Wii is selling so well

Well here we will state some facts and make a conclusion based on the facts.

Fact 1 - Only Nintendo Fanboys buy the Wii - this is a well known fact

Fact 2 - Nintendo Gamecube was 3rd last generation - the Gamecube was the worst Nintendo console ever, and it came in last place last generation.

 

Ok there are 2 facts. Now we draw conclusions.

 

The Nintendo fanboys all bought gamecubes, but it was so bad and they couldn't stand it, they were eagerly waiting until the next Nintendo console came out. The only reason that the Wii is selling so well is because the gamecube was so bad. All the Nintendo fans needed a replacement for such a poor system last generation. The swift selling of the Wii is only a reflection of how bad its predecessor was. Once the Wii reaches the exact sales of the gamecube, it will drop off, and the fad will end.

 

This is only my theory, please don't bash me. I know that this is a revolutionary look at the market, and it is going to make a lot of you uncomfortable, but please don't let that discomfort turn into flames.

See, this is the problem with the internet. It's entirely impossible to decipher Sarcasm. I honestly can't tell if there's any seriousness to that or not.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Edit: Sorry my mistake 

 

The Wii has already surpassed   is going to surpass the user base of the GC in some countries, so

There is more Ninty fans out there or the "new demographics" strategy is working...

I had a Gamecube, I didn't think it was bad.

 Why is it flamebait, I am just presenting a theory based on some general conceptions.

 

If this is flamebait then I don't want to cause any trouble.  Please don't let this get out of hand

 It had a lot of great games, but in terms of the markets reception (sales) it was the worst.
