An interesting poll taken from my class (of 2005) at high school:
What system is the best?
34% PS2
11% Xbox
4% GCN
51% None of the above.
Of course, you have to consider that Nintendo is not aiming for the High School audience (though really should be) and that I think my class is shallow. This proves it:
What do you find most important in a game?
35% Graphics
33% Variety
18% Cost
14% Other
So, according to the plurality of my class, even if a game is boring, can be beat in 1 hour, and cost $100, it is awesome if it has good graphics.
So, that doesn't really say much for my class. Still, the numbers don't lie, Nintendo needs to broaden its audience, and cater to the shallowness of society *shudder* today if they wish to sell more games. Today's people will buy any crap offered to them if it is hyped enough. Take the Anna Nicole Smith Show, for example. The mere concept of it makes you want to puke, but because of the way they pressed it (You couldn't go 2 minutes without seeing some kind of ad for it on E! every day for about 2 months before its release) People were still STUPID enough to watch it. I didn't though, thank God, cause if I did, I'd be a hypocrite, and even worse, I'd be acting in conformance with our society *shudder*.
Point is, Our society *shudder* is so stupid, shallow, and gullible that they'll buy just about any crap offered to them if pitched well enough. There are a few exceptions, but not enough for this to be a problem. Nintendo must realise this to get ahead.
(Sorry to anyone I offended my my views in this post. I wasn't insulting anyone in paticular, only humanity in general.)
Once again, that was an opinion. You may not agree, and I accept that. I do not, however, wish to be flamed for my views. Thank you in advance.
Cuando yo me siento aquí, reflexionar lo que aconteció exactamente con mi vida, yo me dí cuenta algo. Algo interesar. ... algo que no era bastante correcto... algo que pareció hacer mi vida incompleta... algo que hizo mí se siente vacía adentro.. ¿Tan, usted sabe lo que hice? Absolutamente nada. Era el mejor desicion de mi vida. Mi vida no bastante correcta vacía.
