LBP is such a piece of bullshit. It's the only game i regret buying the last 4 years (Wii and ps3)

Stop comparing AAA games with B games please.

Wow... so many people in console warrior mode, not helped by the OP. Miyamoto was in the midst of talking about controls when he said 'our rivals need to do something new' (specifically the way Motionplus adds to Zelda). He wasn't in the midst of talking about creating new gaming ideas or franchises or whatever.

It's right there, clear as day. You just have to want to read it, but that would get in the way of veering off on a rant...

I just can't believe so many people buy that crap of LBP 2 being all the games in one because of level creator capabilities of sorts. Really.

"Hey, Developers of the world, haven't you heard? There's no use in making new games. LBP 2 is all the games in one. Oh, yeah, and Nintendo is doomed."

Finally!! Someone who read the article. Miyamoto is suggesting Nintendo's rivals should try setting a new trend with new types of hardware, rather than following the motion control trend Nintendo started with Wii. I think he's on to something, to be honest. Disrupting the market is what has allowed Nintendo to succeed, if they pull it off, it could work very well for Microsoft and Sony.

And as for those people ranting about new IP-yes, a new IP is wonderful and fun, but existing IPs can be among the most innovative. Two of this generations most innovative, inventive and critically acclaimed games (the Galaxy games) come from a 25 year old IP, but they bring something new to the table in terms of gameplay mechanics and ideas. That being said, I think Zelda needs freshening up and I look forward to seeing how Skyward Sword pans out-especially now Miyamoto is talking about it being a "denser" experience.

I understand Miyamoto's view in seeing the competition as creating Kinect and Move just to inch in on Nintendo's turf with similar games to Wii Play and whatnot. He is absolutely right in this regard.

However, I disagree with the premise of "The Wii was out first, Wii created motion controls, our competitors doing motion controls = blatant copying, and therefore they need to find something new." What this view fails to take into account is that both Move and Kinect have different titles coming out for them and compared to the Wii. Sony with the Move lineup seems to be trying to incorporate their core games with the Move. Microsoft with Kinect appears to be more or less whom Miyamoto is referring to in the OP.

My view is this, Nintendo with the Wii gained a lot of traction because the motion controls were and still are viewed as a unique novelty from Nintendo. Combined with a software library that looks more early Super Nintendo years with the motion controls, while your competitors are in a Red Ocean over the "core," then you win from the get go.

However, motion controls are just a platform. Once all your competitors have motion controls via Move and Kinect, then the dynamic changes from a Blue Ocean owned and operated by Nintendo to a Purple Ocean, which can stay Blue or devolve into a Red Ocean if your competitors start emulating your software library and putting out a library similar to Sega during the Genesis vs. Super Nintendo console wars of 1990s.

Nintendo saw this coming and this is why the 3DS compared to any platform since the SNES has the most 3rd party support. Nintendo foresees increased competition in the 8th generation and they want to alleviate any losses in the Blue Ocean by catering to the "core."

This being said, the wildcard here is smartphone gaming. In 2004 and 2005 when the DS and PSP were released, gaming on cell phones was in it's infancy. Nowadays with smartphones able to put out PC gaming graphics, Nintendo needs the 3DS more than ever and 3rd parties to counter both losses in the Blue Ocean to Move and Kinect and losses on the handheld side to smartphone gaming.

This is my view, it differs from yours, I could be wrong, and please correct if I am.

lol@ whinny nintendo hate in this thread

To be fair; Nintendo do create new IP's but Mario and Zelda are the ones most recognized since they are so old and have sold so many millions of games through well over two decades.

Nope mario galaxy is 3 years old and you didn't say that last new thing Miyamoto did was Nintendogs.

Wait there was an hour long tutorial in Twilight Princess?  Why don't I remember this?

Don't worry Shiggy-san. They'll do something new as soon as you show them what it is they have to do.
