Re: Nielsen's Top 10 PC Games and Consoles of 2008
If I understand it correctly, it's the total number of hours spent gaming. So of course the number of Wii hours increased dramatically, the number of Wii units increased dramatically. But, I would like to see is the number of hours spent per unit. As of this year the Wii has more units in homes than the Xbox360, but still has less gameplay.
My point is that Wii's are being bought, but not being played. Teenagers perceive them as little kid consoles, and little kids (unfortunately) are playing Halo and COD.
Nintendo is and will be successful with the Wii because they make money on the hardware and most titles sold are Nintendo (we can assume at a high profit margin). In the long term however, put your money on the Xbox720.
