| thetonestarr said: Last generation, Sony was [close to] first to launch, and it gave them a tremendous boost for the generation. The reason it worked so well for them is because they were the huge leaders of the previous generation, so they had brand power + tech advantage + timing advantage and that meant big things. With that said, I guarantee you it would work for Nintendo the exact same way this next generation, should they play their cards that way. |
ya this is right on the ball, pretty much. if ppl think the wii lead on the hd twins is big now, next gen will be even bigger if nintendo plays their cards right ^^.
And as others said, the release of Wii2 doesn't mean the end of Wii, it should still have some strong legs and keep some momentum into next gen.
And you are definitely right, it would be illogical for the by-far best seller of this gen to come out with the new product first, but a new console + the old cheap console will kill wtv late momentum sony would hope to gain w/ a cheap 150-200$ console. Plus all the other stuff everyone else already spewed out... lol
Only way I see them not being first is if natal flops (up to now, I see no reason for why it'll be a success) and MS panics and prematurely lights the fuse on their next console. more buggy hardware. woot woot. jk lol. mr.christie, you make good cookies!!
