I know you have read all about how no one has the wii and it's one of the best selling systems of all time. Yet we could see this all coming from a mile away, Nintendo has some of the most accessible charters of all time. I mean who doesn't like at least one of the Nintendo franchises?
No one can argue that Nintendo hit a major home run in the cheap hardware department. Though take a look around online. You see bundles a wide as the net, this isn't because Nintendo is requiring it. The Wii sell wells enough by itself.
The issue a lot of retailers are coming across, and Nintendo as well is that no one really new what "casual" gamers would do. Now we seem to know. The NY times has a story just about this question. It seems that "casual" gamers have yet or will never get bored with the free sports disc. Now Nintendo has sold other software; but no where near the xbox360 or that of the PS3.
So the question has seemed to be answered for the moment. Maybe when you build a game system, sticking with the base is the best thing to do; and let the gamers bring in their friends and families into gaming so games can continue to push artistic freedom and imagination.
