I'll said what they did to my country.
- Super Famicom bring the first era of "game shop" to Thailand.(you can go to this shop and play games by paid 10-15 Baht/hour).and these game shop spread though country after that.
- PS1&2 continued the dark age to children in Thailand (They addicted in games and do everything to go to those shops.And do everything to get money to pay for it ,even steal from their parent ,sell drugs etc.)
And after that make the birth of "Internet Cafe".Actually it shouldn't call cafe ,what they did just let 8+ years old kids to play Counter-Strike as long as they want(That's about 5-12+ hours ,yeah...12+ hours).
This gen. consoles are too expensive for those game shops to invest ,and they're more interest in MMO on PC more than consoles.Then "Console's Dark age" is over.(and another "Dark age" on PC has begun...)
So from what i see on Wii's make parent happy because Wii makes those children can play games with them ,decrease an age gap.
PS3 become a hi-society console ,which one have PS3 means they rich and cool.
Xbox&Xbox360 mostly come from PC owner ,nothing special about them to say.
So i can say that what Nintendo doing is try to compensate what they did long time ago.And Sony?I don't want to say bad to them ,they just do business as same as other did.I havn't have much to say about MS console ,because mostly they work on PC not console.
