This thread is dedicated to the PR bullshit you hear around the gaming world... let's start off with the latest quote from a Microsoft guy...
“We don’t feel like the Wii customer and the Xbox customer are the same thing. We think that as soon as the Wii customer turns 14 they want something else.” - John Rodman, group product manager, Xbox 360
I'm sorry but I have to admit this, I am not 22. I have been stuck at age 13 since time has effectively stopped for me...
To be perfectly blunt, he's a fucking idiot. The majority of people who have bought and play Wii are much older than 13 years old. But there is a shred of truth to what he said, kids around that age do want to play the games that seems the coolest and there's no denying that a lot of kids see Sony and Microsoft as being cooler than Nintendo.
