Its official, the Wii has reached the mass market like no other consoles

http://video.msn.com/v/us/v.htm??g=9de621f0-e14c-4938-aa04-602fc372df82&f=truveo&fg=copy&

What other system has reached this level of exposure in the media and gained so much love from the mass market? Answer is NONE. the Wii is set to take over this industry, this is just a heads up for te ndp figures tommorow ;)

As a side note, microsoft and sony should pay attention to this. instead of making their consoles expensive and releasing rehashed sequal after sequal, they should try and innovate. Hopefully next gen will see some real competition since thi gen officially belongs to the Wii, ds and nintendo :D

I guess so if you've actually went bowling before.

PlayStation 2 did. The Wii is a trash machine and will eventually fail.AHUGECAT

The Wii's hype will die down soon. But why would you want a console to attract the elderly? So you can have more games like Wii Sports and less games like Assassin's Creed?

I don't really think the elderly are buying Wii in any appreciably large numbers.

:lol:  arent you that noob who just got owned by the hermits with your dumb thread ...

and here i thought we were dealing with someone intelligent. anyways, you have no proof whatsover that wii hype will die down. and ubisoft will have a version of AC on the wii, you can be sure of that, and as develper support moves over to the wii, you can say goodbye to all your little games :lol:

Lol I can't really see it happening either, if its anything like the DS its more likely they are a couple of decades younger.  I don't see pensioners in retirement home boosting sales a great deal, there was like 50 of them all sharing one Wii in that video...

Start making those claims when the Wii breaks PS2's record (if such thing happen), otherwise it makes you look delusional.fierro316

ya, except nobady has had to replace their Wii 3 or more times due to DRE...

dont get me wron, PS2 owned. but there is no way any more than 60 million people had one. well over 40% of the sales  were rebuys... my house has gone through i think 5 now (2 remain working)

actually TC that would be the PS1 and PS2.

Wii easily has the potential of beating PS2s 'mass market' and sales.hyruledweller

The Wii will not sell 100 million consoles. It will be lucky to hit 65 million.

Last time I checked the PS2 was at a 110 million and counting,I honestly doubt that the Wii is going to beat that.

QFT. It's no longer an opinion but a fact. If we keep the momentum going, it'll surpass PS2 or any console before it.

Sheep are inconsistant. First they're about Gameplay. Then it was about 1st party games. Then it was bu...but teh devs need more TIME wit teh 3rd party games and teh devs are teh lazy". Now they're going bannanas because grandma and her friends are playing Wii bowling.

Sales matter now?

This pretty much proves that Sheep have been insecure with thier systems for 2 generations. Now that Wii sales are booming, Sheep are getting overzealous since Nintendo have technically been "vaporware" for 2 generations. :lol:

Don't get me wrong, sheep. Nintendo's strategy have been redeemed. And the Wii is a decent console. But it all comes down to GAMES. So far, I'm not quite feeling them. Nintendo have better keep in touch with the serious gaming crowd and offer something for them, and not just for the casuals, the grannies, the noobs, and the sheep.

Please no.

the elderly are fastest growing demographic and will be so for many years to come. Lots of industries will want them just like that downloadable game company guy said.

sadly we don't have figures for this. I'm willing to bet though that more of them will buy a wii than any other console. and with more and more baby boomers going into retirement still wanting to be active i can see this as something they would like. Especially the virtual sports games that they can't do as much anymore. Those could be the hook to get them into gaming.

The elderly aren't going to blow $250 on something they might play every month. Endfinal

if you've every been in a casino or on a crouse, you'd know that there are a lot of elderly that send their days and lots of money on the slots and other entertainment. and it's not like they win. they just like doing something.
