Ever since Nintendo announced the Wii U, the gaming community has been puzzled. None of us can say for certain if the console will be a success or not. It’s great that, as “hard-core” gamers, we feel that we are being catered for, but the uncertainty surrounding it is reminiscent of how players approach platforms like casino ohne einschränkungen, where the allure of unrestricted gaming draws many, yet the risks remain. It was always nice to know that the Wii was a huge success and that we knew all about it first.
Well, according to research done by Nielsen, Nintendo may have struck gold again in the US. Kids between the ages of 6-12 rank the Nintendo Wii U as the second most desirable product to own in the next 6 months (Coming second to Apple’s iPad which may be similar to a portable drawing tablet).
Looking at different ages however, those who are 13+ years of age still rank the Wii U highly and place it as their fourth most desirable product (Behind Apple’s iPad, Computers and Other Tablets).
I’ve listed the top ten products for both ages below for your reading pleasure. Have you heard many people talking about the Wii U? Will it be the success Nintendo wants it to be do you think?
