Study: Kids Want Wii More Than Xbox 360 or PS3

A recent poll 7,982 U.S. consumers taken by the company BIGresearch showed that in terms of the most sought after toys, Wii made the Top 10 list for both boys and girls. Xbox 360 made the Top 10 for just the boys side. Next-gen competition PS3 did not make either list, nor did any other video game console or handheld.

No kidding the Wii doesn't sell like hotcakes for nothing. To a kid the Wii is like the movie The *Lawnmower Man* that has virtual reality-ish gameplay even adults see this thing as revolutionary.

EDIT:
This movie really for the first time brought the concept of the virtual world and the physical world as one to the masses. It was kind of exciting in the 90's. If that kid #1.2 doesn't understand then he simply hasn't seen the movie(might be too young from the sounds of it).
What company can compete against a console aimed at the casual masses with *physically controling virtual worlds* as a selling point?.

POS is always making analogies that make no sense to anyone except for himself.

TheExodus5999d ago

power of Green may be dating himself with reference to "The Lawnmower Man" but that doesn't mean his analogy doesn't make sense, it just means you need to try to make friends with Google.

Lawnmower Man created unrealistic expectations amongst the public of what to expect from their "LSD of the 1990s" .Beleive it or not this movie reached out to many people and got them intrested in cyber space to the point people thought this tech was right around the corner it caused alot of excitement to say the least.
.

I don't know if your post was pun but 1.1 is an idiot I was saying to physiclly control charactors in a virtaul world has the same appeal now as the concept of VR in the 90's.

#1.1 isn't a smart man don't pay him any mind he has personal issues that cause him to get personal when he has the chance.

This was survey of popular TOYs.

Whilst I can understand the Wii being viewed as a toy, it will be no suprise to anyone that the other consoles are not seen as toys.....

TheExodus5999d ago (Edited 5999d ago )

Does the PS3 cook dinner? Clean the house? Walk the dog? Take out the trash? Change the oil in the car? Get you a good job? Get your kids into college? Make wild passionate love to you?

If you answered no to all of the questions above then the PS3 is in fact a toy, but if you answered yes to any of them, at best you are in danger of voiding the manufacturer's warranty & at worst need professional help.

They should go outside anyway.

ItsDubC5999d ago

How many games on the 360 or PS3 are kid-friendly?

Hapimeses5999d ago

Yeah, bit of a non-event story this, and missing some useful stats -- like the ages of those surveyed. The end result is pretty much what you'd guess a bunch of US kids would want for toys.

vaan5999d ago

More adults prefer Beer over orange soda or cola.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff218346m ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh30m ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia13m ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins41m ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
