And I agree.

In a recent Interview with Gameindustry.biz Darren Williams talks about The market of video games specially that of the Wii.

There's the market for the Wii, which is still confusing, because if you see official statistics the average age of ownership is going to be a hell of a lot higher than I suspect it really is - because you've got the very obvious point of parents registering Wiis on behalf of their children. I think on one hand the Wii has become the most expensive board game on Earth - it's the kind of thing that families will play at Christmas, and probably won't play again throughout the remainder of the year.

Darren also chats about the future however he doesn't see where it is all going

"Our research indicates a lot more cross-platform ownership - some people have a Wii alongside a 360, PS3 or PC. Those consumers may already exist then.

But it will be interesting to see what Nintendo does with the Wii 2 - how they choose to combat Sony and Microsoft, because they've obviously won through with the input methodology, but where do they go next? The fact that we don't know, but Nintendo probably does, is why it's the biggest company in Japan."

The Wii has been dominating the market in consoles but as numbers shows other consoles have a higher attach rate than that of Wii.
