its goes back to my earlier point…
i think what you’re not realizing about comparing new nintendo with microsoft & Sony is that it has a wider audience…expically the next gen consoles.
most young kids…5+ will get DS’s or DS lites over PSP & Wii’s over 360’s & PS3’s due to price & game selection.
my wifes sister has 4 kids (1yr old, twin6’s & 10yr old) the twin boys wanted PSP’s & the 10yr old girl wanted a DSlite for xmas.
i told her PSPs are a little much for a 6yr old.
they all ended up getting DSlites…due to pricing & age oriented game selection.
& the same goes for consoles…
I bet most parents maybe 75-85% will get their kids a Wii over the other to due to the price & games.
nintendo has a broader market…tageting a wider audience = more sales.
plus a cheaper price make people decison a lot easier.
i bet if you could pinpoint a certian niche like 25-35yr old males…i bet xbox & PS outsell nintendo. & the only reason they are in the running is due to price & the wii’s new intriguing interactive features
for adults i think its a decision on xbox or PS & then if you have an extra 250-300 you say …yeah i’ll pick up a Wii too so i can try it out.
ALSO…
think about TVs… 360 & PS3 need HD…pointless without IMO…so add that into the equation.
if you don’t have a HDTV you’re looking @ at least $1k for system & Tv.
