In the last eight days, two more friends (families) of ours have told us that after playing with a Wii at our summer or autumn parties, they have now acquired one. This makes the uptake among non-games (people who don't have an X-Box or PSP, for example) something like 5 this last nine months off of our impulse purchase, also into a non-console family.
When the XBox and PSP fanboys denigrate the Wii and wonder why the sales are (still) so high, that's probably the reason. The Wii may not be the best platform for complex flying simulations with realistic graphics, and quite possibly the alien monster blood splatters from the hole made by the ZargMaster PhaserLaserBlaser++ OmniCannon are not entirely faithful to the same pattern of mist and stains in "real life", but it's a fun accessible platform that is selling extremely well, based purely on people playing with it and buying their own, to a new chunk of audience.
A related interesting tidbit is that only one of the now six (including ours) households apparently like playing Zelda (Twilight Princess?), with two households unaware of it and the other three (including ours) considering this a bizarre stupid senseless long annoying illogical game. Zelda has gotten good reviews, but our copy has very few hours on it. |
