Wii “Most Used by Little Boys & Old Women”

The results of a market survey of Japanese Wii users seems to indicate the Wii is very much the console of little boys and older women, the two largest groupings.
The survey, conducted by Nintendo in Tokyo and Osaka, also seems to demonstrate a not insignificant number of very elderly ladies have abandoned their knitting in favour of pseudo-exercise, along with a mysterious disaffinity for the console at age 41.
Nintendo’s innovative marketing has proven a colossal success in marketing the Wii (and DS) to people who otherwise never consider buying a console, but the same statistics seem to indicate an equally great failure in marketing to the “gamer” demographic – fortunately a much smaller grouping than practically everyone else.

I can't imagine buying one, but some friends (we're in our 40s) had one at a party they hosted, and it was great fun.
For my "real" gaming (FPS games), I use a PC.
I actually known a man who was married told me he buy her wife a Wii because she asked for one I show the Husband the features of the system like the Point buy system where you can buy old games on the Wii Network he was surpise he didn't realize he could play old games on that system and his wife wanted one because she wanted to play Wii Sports.
Old women have an excuse to own a vibrating dildo.
I don't think they need an excuse.
Well, it's not because the male/female group is bigger at a point, that you can neglect the other group.
It's more correct to say that the Wii attracts children and adults aged around 35.
What the fuck? Women in their 30's are old?
This proves that Artefact is indeed 16.
My father is 59 year old but he only play the little tanks game on WII.
Thanks for pissing on the fan base that made you what you are Nintendo, thanks a lot. I almost feel like vowing never to buy a Nintendo console again.
So do it and stop whining, I doubt nintendo would give a crap.
You mean the fan base that left the Gamecube to die? Yeah, I'm sure they really want to release another console for you.
They somehow got on top of the world, reselling GameCube hardware at a premium and therefore, never lost money during this whole seventh generation of home videogame systems... yeah, they probably don't need gamers anymore.
And good riddance I say, because real gamers don't need Nintendo anymore, they've outgrown their mostly shitty, unoriginal, non-challenging games for little kids. It's OK if you indeed are a child and you want to start playing videogames with a Nintendo system nowadays, but that's as far as it goes.
Nintendo started with the family console.
I think they're following their original intention very well.
Besides, when the Wii Fit was released and my mother started playing it, she stopped complaining about me playing my own video games.
Now, I play them less than she does.
like that was a surprise for god sake even simpsons did it, really they did im not kidding
I am impressed with how even the demographic is with regards to men and women.
I only play mature games for mature gamers such as myself.
Wait... 34-42 is considered "elderly" now?
Aw shit...
where's the shota-molestin pic i was expectin when i clicked the link on the feed...
women of age 35 are not old -_-
Little boys and older women, could this lead to some straight shota hookups over smash bros?
More likely middle aged pedophiles looking for little girls.
Well, that's somehow... interesting... but still odd... granny playing Punch Out?, that's a MUST SEE.
Wii usage ranges from playing Tsumi to Batsu: Sora no Koukeisha to checking out the forecast channel, so...
Some people were wondering why Wii hasn't gone out of business yet.
This is why.
so male and female in the kids age and in young parent's age plays wii
in other words, it's a FAMILY gaming console, no surprises there.
A DS demograph would be more interesting, especially if there's a comparison between Japan and overseas.
It's because there's a sex simulator hidden in the Wii sports code.
Somehow, only available to certain age groups.
There was a bug or something at the age 41.
Or the women went through menopause, suddenly.
Nintendo has taken back the gaming crown Sony and Microsoft is gonna follow suit.. Because they know they can't handle Nintendo's power.
So, little boys like to play with their Wii's (wee's),
while old women, who have high levels of sexual angst, likes to play with Wii's, too.
As long as old women aren't playing with little boy's Wii's, we're all good.
what the ps3? adn 360? i'm curious on those
As the article points out, the main demographic for the Wii are the people who are not gamers and would otherwise never buy a console system (like the PS3 or 360). This is also why die hard gamers just can't see the marketing brilliance of the Wii.
Old women... go to a gym if you want exercise...
What if the old women are mostly playing Fatal Frame 4 instead of Wii Fit? You can't really get your heart attack inducing scares on a treadmill.
please NO
Heaven forbid!
Who the heck wants to see sagging weights bouncing everywhere on the treadmill???
Because that's exactly what we want.
You go to the gym, ready to work out a bit and maybe hit up on some cute girls while you're there. You go to a treadmill to start up, hoping that you might be able to see the ass of a cute girl wearing tight gym pants or shorts. However, you notice something. There is something terribly wrong with this scene, but you can't exactly point it out. It then clicks in your brain, causing you to feel dizzy.
Instead of the cute girls you were hoping to see, your eyes are greeted with the sight of women who obviously need skin surgery. Flap upon flap of skin, all wrinkling out from their owner's tight gym shorts and sports bra. The liver spot infested flap of skin on their arm sways back and forth, as the old lady power walks on the treadmill. She then stops and turns toward you. Her sports bra soak with sweat, hanging down over her stomach. Her make up has smudged a bit, with eye liner going down her face a tad. She wipes her mouth, smudging red lipstick to the side of her face.
She looks at you and then winks. It feels like she had just shot in square in the chest, causing you to collapse to the ground. You struggle to get back to your feet when you hear a voice.
"Are you alright?" says the sweet sound voice. A voice this angelic must be beautiful. She lends you a hand. You grab her hand and get back to your feet.
"Oh, thank yo-. . ." you stutter.
The girl ended up being a wrinkling old hag, with wrinkles covering her eyes. Her back is hunched a bit, causing her to seem like she's always leaning forward. Her tight white shirt, covered with sweat, gives you a clear view of what she has to offer. She wasn't wearing a bra, allowing you to see her stiff nipples in all their glory.
You quickly say thank you and immediately walk out of the gym. You pull out your membership card and tear it to pieces, letting the scraps of paper fly off in the wind. In your car, you turn on your CD and drive home. Once back home, you step in your shower and go into the fetal position, staying like this for 4 hours straight.
"I hate the gym," you say, as the water pours down your face. In your hand is a blade, which you place on your wrist and neatly slice your arm upwards.
"I'm free," you say to yourself, as you loose consciousness and go to the big moe blob in the sky.
LMAO !!!! good one Peter xD
You could always start training with a Wii. ^_^
cool story
, bro.
This gave me a weird mix of emotions.
a bit disgusted...
Creeped out a bit......
Lol'd some.....
yeah that is about right...(but No More Heroes Still rocks)
A-freakin-men to that
Sir Henry Motherfucker!
Halle-fucking-lujah
Dam o___O
Maybe it decrease at 18's coz you discover another things to play with then that happy era ends and they retur to play games @_@
Like the xbox360?
This is Japan we're talking about here. If your intention was to imply they're having sexual relationships you're sadly mistaken.
on an unrelated note, I think they cut off at age 7 because any younger and "do you have a wii?" would sound quite odd to the child...
I doubt wii/wee would occur to a small child. Tis Japan, after all. western slang wouldn't count im.
just means shotacons likes playing with their WIIs
That why Project nate is coming out so shotacons can start playing with there 360
???
Profit!
