do girls like to play with the WII in your opinion

i was at the local gamestop checking out the deals they got on soem old ps2 games

i saw lots of girls checking out the WII section, and some others were looking at DS stuff as well

has nintendo tapped into the female mind with all these exercise games, cooking games, and puppy simulators IYO

discuss

Yeah, I think games like Nintendogs and Brain Training have opened up more markets.

I know a lot of girls that liked Nintendo before the DS/Wii though. Games like Mario Kart and Pokemon. But anyway, Nintendo have definitely done a great job of bringing more people into gaming. I think they can keep the momentum going.

Girls I know would prefer to play a few games of DOA4 with me. That or go for a few rounds of Halo (Beta worked wonders).

But that's just the girls I know.

only one type of girl plays video games and i'd most likely want none of thatUtensilman

[QUOTE="Utensilman"]only one type of girl plays video games and i'd most likely want none of thatSergeantSnitch

meh, maybe. but i think i'll stick with the bar (which has prolly cost me like 5 grand this year so far but w/e)

I have been waiting for a chance to use this line.. its quite old butI havent had the chance to use it yet...so..

Ahem:

"I dont know if they like to play the Wii, but the can play with my Wii anytime they want"

This ofcourse is not a true statement, they can only play with my wii when im not playing with my 360/ps3 since i only have one LCD-TV...

Yeah of course.

My sister wants to get a Wii and DS, but she's already playing the Sims 2.

She can jump ship to Halo though lol.

It depends on which kind of girls do you mean!!! Of course there is a huge minority of female hardcore gamers out there and there is a majority of casual and non-gamers that are girls so I'm guessing what you saw are the casual and non-gamers!!!

Yes, I do agree that the Wii is tapping in to the non-gamer market and it's a big plus!!! Now I've seen some girls reserving GHIII for the Wii as well!!!

So in other words, it's easier to start talking with a girl about the Wii than it is with the PS3 and 360. Why? The Wii is more popular! Conclusion? The Wii can also be used to pick up chicks.

:D

Compared to the 360 and PS3, yes.

But there's a whole range of topics outside of gaming that can be used to pick up chicks.

Lots of 10-15 years old girls seem too enyoy the Wii and Ds..

But.. not many older girls care about these things above the mid teens.. Well, more then with earlier consoles, but its still only a few.

I can tell you that my older sister has bought a wii (she did love re, but dropped out after the playstation One era), my younger sister wants a wii and several women i know have a wii.

However, and i'll make this pretty clear games like Nintendogs appeal to the younger female audience and whenever I simply said nintendogs and Cooking mama to my female friend she was disgusted by this and looking at the games she owns, I'd agree.

Female gamers do enjoy non-game games, but they enjoy good non game games, like trauma Center.. in fact that has been a raging success.

True, but it's still one more topic that you can use to get together with girl. ^^

I can just see it now "Wanna go to my place and play with my Wii?"

where i come from most girls dont even know what a "Wii" or "DS" or "nintendogs" arestika

Where's that? The moon?

I didnt like the wii to be honest. It can be fun when you have a few people over and have some booze etc, but what i played didnt impress me enough to buy one...

Portugal, the company who has the rights to nintendo here is a toy company (the portuguese version of Mattel) and that exactly how they´v been treating nintendo for ages, like a toy, nintendo was never really strong here (except for the gameboy) everything else was always in second or third place, SNES, N64, gamecube, Wii, DS, etc

True, but it's still one more topic that you can use to get together with a cute girl. =]

I reckon it's more fun trying to BS your way through pretending to follow Ugly Betty or Desperate Housewives or some crap like that lol.

But yeah I guess it's one more way.

Yet they know what the 360 and the PS3 are, amirite?

they do, but thats because the rights fot those are owned by microsoft Portugal and Sony Portugal respectivily, they now how NOT to treat a game system, in fact in here in terms of hardware sales the PSP is in 1º place followed by the PS3, then its the Wii (but guys are the ones buying it) then the 360 and lastly the DS

What if you don't BS but actually follow those two shows or at least one of them? What's wrong with a guy following them at all, though?

Is Portugal trying to be cool by trying to be different? Lol, just kidding. That sounds messed up when compared to the rest of the world, though. Especially the part about not knowing about the Wii. I mean, it seems that it's just sheer ignorance and nothing else.

not really. Europe is an odd game region. I mean, other than the ok the majority of European countries prefer pc gaming.

well most people dont go to websites and forums right? i mean lets face it, as many people as IGN or gamespot has were still the minority so their not informed, another problem is the fact that they dont advertise nintendo.... at all.. add that to the hype fest sony threw here with the PSP and the PS3, and microsoft with Halo and look what happens

EDIT: Also the guys that have the rights to nintendo are such retards they actually boicoted the best-selling video games magazine in Portugal because they were givving low reviews to gamecube games and saying that in terms of sales and veriaty the gamecube was in last place when compared to the xbox and PS2, thats been going on for 3 years now

my friends would call me a homosexual, but thats just where i come from and the people i hang out with.

not calling you anything btw just saying what would happen if i did. (lol, i actually watched a couple of desperate housewives episodes, but it wasn't my idea i swear)

So Sony and Microsoft are basically trying to get the areas where Nintendo isn't active because they would lose in everywhere else, correct?

something like that, and it worked for sony, the PS1 and PS2 pretty much brainwashed everyone, i have and like my (downgraded) PSP, but i sure as hell wouldnt buy the PS3, microsoft just came to late, the PS1 and PS2 craze was already there by the time the xbox was released, still there is a big comunity of xbox fans here, as for nintendo its mostly just die hard fans from the snes or N64 era

In the UK at least, Nintendo have very common advertising on TV, for both the DS and the wii. I hardly see any 360/PS3 adverts these days.
