40% doesn't just happen in like 4 years. Its obviously a long term trend and Nintendo were smart enough to spot this years ago. This survey actually makes me feel better about Nintendo's approach, specifically that teenage boys arn't the bigger market. Im not sure that PS XB realised, or they did and had no fukn idea how to sell to them. Thats pretty pathetic considering were talkin about Sony and MS.
Maybe the reality is that the whole industry isn't just for hardcore nerds anymore, now where the fuck is my Wii ware knitting simulator? huh huh?
And the stripper pole sim too, want it now, for womens rights and shit, u know
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
