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.
