aenaos Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 "A survey conducted by Enterbrain shows that the Wii is doing something a lot better than the other consoles…bringing back gamers that have left the scene. 46% of Wii players polled said they hadn’t touched a console in 3 years or more. The Wii is also winning over families. It’s no surprise that the Wii is the number one console for family play, and that the console is most likely to be found in a family/living room rather than a bedroom, or other room in the house." gonintendo.com/?p=16330 Very interesting..Wii has done it excellent to win back the gamers who havent played consoles for many years..Are you one of them?

Gaijin von Snikbah Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 My brother never owned a console after the N64. He bought the Wii together with me on launch day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 it's because Nintendo are making games FUN again. Games just went so long being just plan boring, and Nintendo are making people take an interest again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kav Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 My friend hasn't owned a console since the NES! He's a PC Gamer, he bought a Wii last month after extensive multiplayer sessions on mine! ...my uncle, he's 49, recently purchased a Wii after playing mine a couple months ago... we couldn't get him off Wii Sports!!!

Ninty 182 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yeah my family have fallen in love with it, hence I'm not getting to play it as much. Bet Nintendo didn't think of that when they were designing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelle Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I only ever played other people's consoles in the past. I recently bought a cheap Megadrive, but the Wii will be my first 'current' purchase. I've been more of a computer person myself: Spectrum 128k > Amiga 600 > Amiga 1200 > PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 It's because it's the first thing in years to offer truly new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Very interesting..Wii has done it excellent to win back the gamers who havent played consoles for many years..Are you one of them? Well, I lost interest in video gaming from mid-2000 till 2005. The Gamecube brought me back when they released the first trailer for Zelda TP, knocked me off my feet.

Konfucius Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I only know someone around 35 who seldomly played PC games but got a DS and is planning on getting a Wii as well. It's really amazing what an image change Nintendo made from GC to Wii, it got so many people into it... wow, just wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 This poll question is worded in a non sensical way from my point of view, thus I won't answer it. I think the Wii may have won back lost gamers, then again, maybe it's just pulled in a load of new gamers, as I don't really know many 'lost' gamers, and I imagine any who were would be a bit weary of this strange new system and stick to the kind they know, maybe. As for the Wii itself, is the fact that it's tomorrow's featured article on wikipedia a sign of how successful it has been, given that it has barely been around for 6 months?

Emasher Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yeah my family have fallen in love with it, hence I'm not getting to play it as much. Bet Nintendo didn't think of that when they were designing it you could always set a password using parental controls (set it so that you need a pass to play the lowest rating of games) unfortunatly this wont work with the unrated channels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
