50% of produciton goes to NA (most important region on Earth)

:lol: every region is important there is no MOST important region

Also, at this time last year, the 360 had a 5.2 attach rate.

Meanwhile, according to Gamestop, the Wii had about a 3.0 attach rate when it launched.

DOA 2 Hardcore - 8.9

Madden NFL 2001 - 9.1

Tekken Tag Tournament - 9.6

SSX - 9.4

Time Splitters - 8.4

Smugglers Run - 8.0

Midnight Club - 8.4

Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2 - 8.0

MotoGP - 8.0

NHL 2001 - 8.0

Unreal Tournament - 8.2

I'd say the PS2 had an amazing launch.

I got my N64 on launch day with Mario 64. Good thing I got it before it was impossible to find.

In a market with over 300 million people and the most important market outside of Japan for Nintendo.

Not "stereotypes," but "misconceptions" or "myths."

Nintendo quality control pissed a lot of developers off back on the snes, the same developers then went to the PS1 where people actually spent good money on the crap...

Encouraging and helping these 3rd partys is a great idea, but not letting them publish their games is not and both Playstations prove this because although they have a immense library, the vast majority of it is crap that serves to help the gems shine brighter.

Way to go, post a link to a blog from LAST YEAR. I'm pretty sure nothing has changed in a year.. What are they at now? Got a link for that one?

Cool! It just flows better...but that's besides the point...I think the real secret is...kids don't play the Wii because it's not cool to like anything your parents like. Thats why I never believed kids were actually playing the Wii.

Plus Nintendo fans have grown up with Nintendo and they are definetly in their late twenties at this point. But that average age seems high. Where did they get these numbers? If they visited an old folks home it could be skewing the average too high.

Tc to make a quick note Nintendo stated voice chat is a possibility, but not fact of whether or not it is going to be done. shadowfox55

"Reggie talks about online voice chat for Wii - changes constantly happening, online voicechat is possible. It comes down to finalizing a peripheral. The fact that the mic is on the DS shows that Nintendo is interested. It is certainly something Nintendo is looking into, and Reggie wouldn't be surprised to see it hit the system."

SSBB better support voice chat if they're gonna add the feature.

I can see it now..the Nintendo voice chat mic. Another peripheral to add on top of the 50 others.

Just wondering because Nintendo is user friendly I doubt they would include voice for the reason to protect their consumers. Like how SSBB will not show names of the people a person will face on-line. Or does not include any texting.

You mean besides the Nunchuk, Classic Controller, and Zapper?

How are those different from the wireless mic, the keyboard add-on, the Scene-It controller, the webcam, the rechargeable battery, the expanded hard drive.....?

4. Average Wii user is 29 years oldErkidu

[QUOTE="Erkidu"]4. Average Wii user is 29 years oldEntwineX

Yeah, no way to figure out how they came up with that number. Could've asked school's and old folks homes to get it. Who knows.

I would think that if Nintendo did carry out a survey, then its purpose was to conduct an unbiased study to find out the real complement of their userbase so that they could adjust their marketing strategies accordingly. I seriously doubt that they would intentionally sabotage such an important and useful tool for the sake of placating rabid message board fanboys.
