Gameplayer examines how much of the Wii's success can be attributed to how its software plays on the fears of the audience. And speculates on some new software products that could be just around the corner.
"What is Nintendo's biggest weapon? Is it the Wii? The DS? Is it Shigeru Miyamoto's game design genius? Is it the strength of the brand, or the rigour of their quality control? Could it be some inscrutable Japanese management technique that we could never hope to understand?
No.
Nintendo's biggest weapon is fear."
This hardcore gamer grandma has put nearly 4,000 days into Wii Fit!
The NPD Group has revealed the top 10 best-selling exclusives in the U.S. since 1995, and Nintendo holds all 10 spots.
And the #1 game on this list is also the #1 game (and accessory) to be found at the local goodwill.
Take a look at the 50 best selling games of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
Nintendo has always had the most mass appeal, my Mother would play Mario.
There's landslides and then there's this. Wouldn't be surprised if the top 50 was mostly Nintendo games.
VGChartz's William D'Angelo: "Today we take a look at the top 10 best-selling games for yet another platform. Up to this point we have looked at the original PlayStation, the Nintendo 64, the PlayStation 2, the original Xbox, the GameCube, the Nintendo DS, and the PSP. This week it's the turn of Nintendo's most popular home console, the Wii.
The Wii is the fifth best-selling video game platform in history and the third best-selling home console in gaming history. It is also the best-selling home console not released by Sony. It sold 101.18 million units lifetime."
Just like the DS list, every game on the Wii's list has sold over 10 million. Not even PS1 and PS2 did that. That's very incredible
not sure about that one.
Nice find and article.
Haha, this is funny :D I would say it's more like solutions to problems, as well as preventing future ones. People do this all the time for marketing, just nintendo does it well. :P
Point.
