+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted March 28, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted March 28, 2007 Yet when it comes to gaming, Xbox 360 users are serious, Mr. Rodman says. Six out of 10 Xbox 360 users use Xbox Live, Microsoft?s online gaming service.?We don?t feel like the Wii customer and the Xbox customer are the same thing,? he said. ?We think that as soon as the Wii customer turns 14 they want something else.? Nintendo just can't escape their kiddie image:alien:ey? :alien: Source: NYTimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbeck666 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I love my Wii and I'm 20. I like the X-box too, I dont have anything against any of the systems, but the Wii was affordable for me, and it's just fun! That was all I wanted :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordkanin Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 18, and I, and my other friends at college, couldn't disagree more. The Wii is fun for people of all ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christracy Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 If it is true then where would both Microsoft and Sony be without Nintendo? i don't think either really have a zelda-like franchise that appeals to "kids." Also if those kids don't get hooked young, then when the turn 14 they may be disinterested anyway which leads to neither MS or Sony getting sales. Personally i don't think its a kid thing its a gamer v. casual gamer thing but thats my thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadFerIt Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) wii is just childish plastic cr4*p to me - i'll never buy one - straight to ps3 for me. kiddie games on wii really don't capture my like for games with actual story-lines. Wow.. I've heard you trash both the 360 and the Wii.. Not to mention you claimed some really wacky/untrue things about the PS3 (Bluetooth motion sensitivity!!! You can use it as a pointed in Time Crisis 4!!), I think your bias is too much for one person.. And over a video game console, isn't exactly politics or anything serious.. So calm down eh? ----- As for Microsoft's comments (more specifically Mr. Rodman), I completely disagree and I've heard the opposite from other people at Microsoft (which is refreshing because I'm sick of the stupid mud-slinging between companies). I'm 21 and I love the console. But I will admit there is a large drought of original Wii titles (ports do not count :p), launching with a game as amazing as Twilight Princess tends to make each game released the past 5 months for the console look.. Well crappy in comparison. Edited March 28, 2007 by MadFerIt2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadFerIt Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I've seen a hooker play more games than you.. Huh? Don't get me wrong, some of his posts are really ridiculous.. But I honestly have no idea what that means.. A hooked plays more games? Are you trying to say his bias is so great he winds up playing few games?? I've never heard that hookers play little video games though lol. *Lol nevermind, you edited it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
