"With E3 over, and Nintendo showing off it's software lineup, I couldn't help but wonder why people can't pick up on what Nintendo is doing.
Sony and Microsoft both showed their expected motion controls, but Nintendo really didn't seem to care. Nintendo has it's Blue Ocean Strategy and they will stick with it through thick or thin. The disruption of Nintendo is finally being felt like never before in games, but with Sony and Microsoft already having huge processors and showing their motion controllers, what will Nintendo do?"
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
easy just keep doing what they are doing sony and microsofts motion controls won't release for some time so by the time they do come out they just do a price drop and there you go
also new colors seems to make sales go up especially in japan
not to mention the wii is the name the casual gamer recognizes for all their casual needs
after reading that article i see what the guy is implying
i actual agree on the last thing he said
This article was a very good read. I can't want to see what else Nintendo could have in store!
just need to sale more wiis and get the next console ready to stay ahead of the game. it's not my favorite system, but it is a winner $ I know it won't happen, but I want to see a high horsepower nintendo console. nintendo 1st party devs+horsepower=drool.
nintendo doesnt need to do anything. they have the eye motion camera announced by ubisoft. they have the casual gamer, sonys motion is targeted toward hardcore so they dont even compete for the same crowd. as for m$ they are trying to get the casual but they didnt learn from sony eye toy eventhough they copied YOU NEED A REMOTE natal was the most useless piece of hardware/ software at e3
I don't think anyone is gonna surpass nintendo anytime soon in the sales department.
I still think the wii is the weakest out of all 3 systems though. How many peripherals can you have? Wii fit is pretty much useless outside of the game it comes bundled with and the vitality sensor, i have no idea what that is about.
So yes, nintendos strategy worked flawlessly but i feel like the original fans of nintendo have to suffer because of this new found success.
At least that's how i feel.
