[QUOTE="aia_2, post: 8682233, member: 6800399"] Interesting topic... What is underlying is the fact that the success of a game is measured in nr of sessions rather than sales. It would be very interesting to see a comparison between the two rankings (games by sessions vs games by sales). An overall comment: at first i didn't get the target of the poll... I had only one picture in my mind: once a product is close to be a commodity (if it is not already a commodity), the consumers are kind of bored by this good and trying to find it interesting by trying "different" uses. It is like TV in the '80s: everbody was so addict to it that instead of switching it off when what people wanted to see was finished, they keept on sitting on the coach and started zapping... Having 1-2 sessions of other games is a close concept of TV zapping... You have already taken your "dose" but you want to explore and try other games as if you were looking to smtg that can provide you with "feelings" the old game is not able anymore... Last comment: in order to have "mini-experiences" like zapping you need to have an enthusiast who pushes the others towards this experience: otherwise the party would stop for a while and do some other activities (keeping on playing the already existing game)...
