The internet and in some places, media assumption, is that the majority of Wii owners are casual gamers - kids and old people. It currently has more than 50 million units in the world market. We all know that the Wii is way ahead in 1 place in this generation sales. They bought it mainly for the big Nintendo franchises - Zelda, Mario, Starfox, Metroid, Pikmin et cetera. The assumption I am placing is that the majority of those owners were Nintendo hardcore fans, not casuals. We all know the Gamecube was placed 3 in the last generation sales. I first studied the data and the conclusion followed. Based on this I will show that the casual gamer directed at the Wii is just plain wrong. I am directly comparing the sales of Gamecube games to those of the same game (or equivalent) on the Wii. In order to explain where I am going, I will explain what I am doing. You can’t really argue with the statistics, but you can argue against my assumptions and conclusions. The trouble with statistics is that we have to make assumptions and conclusions based on the figures. Truth be known, I can’t prove anything as we all know the expression, “lies, damn lies and statistics.” I am going to be using statistics. Of course, just like proof that god doesn’t exist won’t change a religious person’s faith, nor will anything I put forward here change the minds of Wii haters, a religion in itself. In reality, does this really stand up to scrutiny? What I intend to do is dispel the myth. So, rather than dilute things for newcomers we have decided to live with the hubbub while helping new readers find the columnists they will enjoy.On internet forums across the globe we are constantly bombarded with stories and opinions on how the Wii is for casual gamers and casual gamers don’t buy anything but casual games. Sorry about that.īut so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it.
