LOL PS3 is third of the three, and Wii is close to 360.  And people get new 360s because they die and want to replace it with another one.


Yo, Spyro

My stupid dog would probably chew the crap out of it ... if I even had it in the
first place. They make it sound like it's made of polished silver or something.

If it was solid, and not inflatable, then it would be cool.

In sales...    yes, ps3 is third.  But it's right behind 360 and 360 has a year head start.  And Wii is 1st because Nintendo tricked the mid-high class into buying it "cheap".

I wasn't gonna argue on this, but I found a great article that explains how even though the Wii out sells the 360 by 30 million units, it is also the least used console.

Re: The dumbest Wii controller accessory.

I strongly disagree with the Xbox 360s age group on this chart:

consoleusage.jpg

Most of the people I meet are older than that. I meet a lot of people in
their 40s and 50s. Yes, there's a bunch of immature little kids who
shouldn't be playing *cough*Halo*cough* but the chart is off.

[Edit] By the way, that chart is from September 2009. That's over a year
regarding our current date. So this chart is old.

Sales don't count as popular i mean the quality if the games on ps3 and even xbox are better then on the wii.

I can speculate that the reasoning for the Wii's poor playing results is due to the audience it aims for. The Wii was marketed to be a console largely for casual gamers (well, a console for "everybody"). The targeted demographics is comprised of those who don't typically devote their love to video games as much as hardcore players. The PS3 and Xbox360 however are oriented more towards this group of people. The proportion of certain genres for these consoles reflect this fact: shooters, war games, fighters, etc. These genres typically are host to a number of hardcore followers.

My main point is that I believe the results are largely due to the audience targeted as opposed to poor performance and product dissatisfaction.

That's right.  This is why I think it's kind of oxy-moron to say, "I really love video games, that's why I got a Wii!"

Re: The dumbest Wii controller accessory.

Haha, I think most people who make that error probably meant "I really like the type of games available for the Wii!", and that statement holds true for myself as well.
