IDC says Wii will outship and outsell competition |
Ó
IDC, the premier global provider of consumer technology market information and subsidiary of research leader IDG, analyzed that Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo won't be able to dominate the market in the next five years just as Sony's PS2 had before, but stresses that the Nintendo Wii will outship and outsell the competition in 2007 and 2008.We all know of the Nintendo "Revolution" because it keeps to its namesake, and for a game console that does revolutionize the game market, it doesn't focus on one specific demographic at all. The IDC points out that this is the Wii's edge, and because not only do hardcore and enthusiast gamers have all the money out there, the Wii will likely still be in constant demand until late 2008.
IDC recognizes the actual growth of the Wii's accessible market, allowing even non-gamers to dive into the world of gaming without intimidating them. There is much support for the Wii for its health benefits and the fun factor it delivers to the family home. And to this effect, if Nintendo can keep up its current hardware shipments, the Wii will be capturing slightly over a third of the worldwide market by 2008, ahead of the competition.
Billy Pidgeon, program manager of IDC's Consumer Markets: Gaming Program says, "We believe concerted efforts to broaden the appeal of videogames beyond the traditional enthusiast/hardcore base will deepen the industry's penetration. This is good news for an industry that seemed to be receding last year due to over-saturation of the core base." The Wii is opening up a whole new market for the game industry, which the industry will be able to tap into through the appeal of Nintendo's console.

Yeah. They probably will.
Then after your impulsivness goes away, you will realize that you have a system with graphics from 5 years ago, not even a DVD PLAYER, and an overhyped unresponsive system that grabbed you by your(or your childrens) balls, and pulled you in.
GG
Casual gamers don't really care that much about graphics. It's not like the Wii has NES graphics. Plus it mainly a kids system, kids don't care about graphics. But it is true that people will be bored with it if good games don't keep coming out. The same can be said for the PS3 and 360 though. Games is everything. The Wii is good fun with the right games, hopefully we will see same innovative stuff.
One last point. I glad the Wii is so different from the PS3 and 360. It adds something else to gaming. If the Wii had 360/PS3 graphics it would be way to expensive for it's target market, which is families and kids.
good points ^
i agree with most of what Devise said
actually i do care about graphics, but the wii doesn't have graphics that are so bad that the system is unplayable. For what the system does, the graphics are just fine...
