Subject: 3DO, Internet, game magazines, and general sales theories

I currently blame internet for four 3DO sales and possible
more. I believed the magazines and what they said that the 3DO was a
bad system that I shouldn't buy all games were interactive movies
ettc.....But after a few weeks of 3DO newsgroup reading and reading
about Super Wing Commander. I was hooked and bought one and never
looked back... That was in may... And now I am looking forward to a
huge batch of 3do games (including Super Street Fighter I want to beat
people up) but still the best game period is Star Controller II...
So after buying one I showed to my little brother who is 16.
He gets all the latest rags including Nintendo Power, Game Pro, and
other rags of game magazines. I showed him my 3DO and he was hooked
and bought it for almost exclusivly John Madden and Super Wing
Commander... He bought it in August. He has told me that he loves
the games for it and thinks that they are better than other system (he
uses Road Rash and Star Controller II now as a good reason to own one)
and of course he can't wait for Super Street Fighter II whatever we
will call it this week.
Well now in september he has friends in his neighborhood and
he has showed it to a fourteen year old.. He sold his genesis and cd
rom for it and bought a 3do (with jurrsasic park non-interactive ugh).
And he is happy with it any ENJOYS Shadow Warrior(Yes that aweful
game)! But he is planning on buy SSFIIWEEE and Star Controller II(which
is not availble in the Green Bay area that they know of :-O).
Now in october tommorrow I am going with a 25 year old friend
to a store and he is going to buy a 3DO mainly for three games Star
Contoller II, Guardian War, and Road Rash. He is thinking of buying
3DO version of Super Wing Commander but decide instead to wait for
wing commander III. He is buying a 3DO mainly because of the games
for he was going to buy a genesis but the games are not what he likes
to play and those are mainly comming out for the 3DO...
What is the point.. First my brother, his friends , and I read
game magazines if I beilieved totally what they said I would of not
bought a 3DO and these other three people would of not.
Second point word of mouth from internet made me buy it :-)
And I think game compaines should use newgroups as a way to inform
customers kind of a clearing house of information on the game
itself... Just a few things like release dates, reply to message
about a game and any little codes that might may their game more
exciting and playable...
Third point these people are now embassidors of 3DO's good
will... I have three people who are serious about buying a 3DO
(mainly because of Star Controller II- who thought that would be a
system seller) And basicly according to my brother he claims that he
know eight of his friends who are now saving/buying a 3DO for Star
Controller II or Super Street Fighter we want more money...
I think the 3DO is a great place to get honest info about 3DO
that is more honest than the magazines. My brother calls me weekly to
get info from me from what I read on the internet so he can make more
"inform" decisions.. Eventully the magazines might like the 3DO but
until than internet is the information source for me.
Enough wasting of bandwidth......
