EEDAR: Blame low industry sales on casual gamers

Nov 14th 2009 11:05AM (Joystiq)
When these people talk increases, they look at he previous year even if that previous month was unusually amazing. Last year the Wii sold a lot, and in the investment world, they always try to match the same sales year after year, no matter how outlandish the sales goal. The huge sales of the Wii inflated the numbers for the last 2 years so the industry shows major growth, there became more investors who thought the Wii could keep being their cash cow. But that the Wii's sales couldn't be sustained for 3 years it makes the whole industry look like it's struggling much more than it really is.

Yet the PS3 and 360, who have a consistent user base are buying more, but not enough to offset the loss the Wii sales declined from last year.

In reality, after a console is saturated into the market enough, then sales will decline. The only way a company can sustain sales after too much saturation is to either lower the price to reach those people holding out (like they did not to long ago) or sell multiple consoles to the die hard Wii lovers, but what incentive does Nintendo give to own multiple Wii's. There is no upgraded Wii with new features.

The PS3 doubles as a Blu-Ray player as well as game console, so it makes more since that a person would have 2 in a family household, one for the main TV and one as a game console. Sony can sell two to each family. Xbox doubles as a DVD player and game console and is such a low price that a family could own several of these and it makes since.

Looks like Nintendo wasn't prepared for this much success and didn't really have a long term plan. Sony and Microsoft are always looking toward the long terms, and because of that, they don't blow their load to quick and have the girl kick them out the bed in search of a bigger better console that would satisfy better.

I'm a hardcore gamer and I love sleeping with women and going to bars too. Not just the casual gamers.

Here's what you're Gameflying this holiday season

I made a big mistake on the first Modern Warfare, I played Killzone 2 first. After that, I couldn't get into Modern Warfare. Since I bought it, I completed it, but all the while craving Killzone 2 the entire time.

If MW2 is the same as the first, then it maybe a rent, maybe.

'Big Dawg' vs. Madden lawsuit dismissed

They'll will probably show him on camera in Madden '11, then he'll go and try to get endorsements, or his own reality TV show.

Third parties not required to release PSP games on PlayStation Store

Yeah, and Sony makes money on the sales of both. Either way, we win because we have a choice in PSPs, Sony wins because we buy a PSP.

Madden 10 pre-order demo drops July 23, public demo July 30

I just hope they release the game, just seems like that's the advance that Madden should have done a long time ago, but didn't.

Maybe we'll get Backbreaker Football with real physics and that will give Madden a run for the money, more at least make them skip a year to make real advancements.

Rumor: Taiwanese firms awarded PS3 Slim manufacturing contracts

Dude, get it repaired. This slim will most likely not have as many features as your current one. And it for sure will cost more than $150.

Impressions: Snow White hacks up children in Fairytale Fights

If this really has Snow White, then I can't see Disney letting this game get released. They probably haven't got wind of this yet.
