Nintendo Gaming / GameCube's Appeal to the Teen Audience

« on: February 01, 2003, 03:22:08 PM »

How large can the pre-teen market really be? When I was younger I always negotiated my Christmas and Birthday presents and got mabye two games a year. You couildn't rent games back then either, we had to swap with our friends, on my NES I had Mario/Duckhunt and Ninja Gaiden. Now I'm 22, finished Uni, and have a good job I can buy as many games as I want and I do. If Nintendo was more concerned with their long term position they could have had Metroid and Zelda out in all regions for Christmas. You don't have to finish a game before you begin localisation. But instead I'll be waiting until April and May to play Metroid and Zelda. By that time I'll have paid of all the debt I accumulated moving towns after finishing Uni and I'll have probably given up and brought another system.
