Younger children, women and older consumers, who historically have not been sought by the video-game industry, have discovered video games through the Wii — just not that many of them.bThese new gamers are content with the games they have, often going no further than the Wii Sports game that comes with the machine... The average Wii owner buys only 3.7 games a year, compared with 4.7 for Xbox 360 owners and 4.6 for PlayStation 3 owners, said a Wedbush Morgan analyst, Michael Pachter.

Nintendo: Average Wii Sits on Shelf for Just an Hour
Wired - April 23, 2008
Submitted by lstormy10 (27) at 8:32PM PST on April 23, 2008
"Wii consoles, on average, sit on the shelves for just an hour before they are purchased. That stat comes straight from Reggie Fils-Aime. Fils-Aime [also] noted that North America gets about 40 percent of the 1.8 million Wii consoles Nintendo manufactures every month. The Americas are the only territory in which supply and demand are out of whack for Wii: Fils-Aime said you can walk into stores in Japan and Europe and find Wii on shelves."
