While a handfull of poster mostly describe elements that prove Sony/MS part in gaming towards gameplay(not industry) and it means to them. So rather than come out with nice long counter arguments. They are terse and mostly what seems like opinion. HappySquirrel seems happy enough to paint a picture of the industry. How about some people decide to take a step back and take a look at everything as whole.
This sums up the problem that view. Sony/MS don't want too, but people want to hold onto to this "IF"as a saving grace for their own belief. This doesn't mean they can't, but if they believed it was important they would have done so. What we will see next generation are implementations from the next round of machines that look closer to the Wii in strategy than they do to the PS3. Why? because it's proven and proving to make more money. Once we reach the new development phase of consoles Sony and MS are going to design what's already done and do it again. They will try to do the same thing better. If Nintendo follows the continued model, then they will once again make Sony and MS irrlevent to console industry. I'm going to have to disagree there's nothing to indicate that Nintendo would be guaranteed success in generations to come if they applied they same formula , infact it's likely that they themselves would become irrelevant if they kept the winning formula and refused to anticipate change in consume interest or a new type of consumer ( in a similar fashion Sony failed to realise that the same formula with an increment may not neccaserly work regarldess of other factors) . Each generation is effectivley a new ball game and each company must adapt and change to re-capture the consumer , Nintendo will have a distinct advantage heading into next gen because of their successes this gen but it won't save them from becoming irrelevant if they fail to adapt. As it is at this time now. Sony and MS going away won't hurt the industry. They or newcomers will come back, but with new strategies for the future. GC/Xbox were made irrelavant to the industry last generation. it's still here and far more healthy because Nintendo was pawned(is that right?) last gen. They came back with a new strategy. See notice that's it's ok for Nintendo or MS made irrelevant, but it's not ok for Sony? That's a fan thing. I don't quite get what your saying here please elaborate. oes no where especially when the arguments are terse 1/2 sentences and are considered strong and meaningfull. I think HappySquirrel is wasting his time though, but hey I like reading his posts. They are insightfull. Take a book from Million if you don't want to believe that Nintendos path or stretegy are the right ones. Million knows how to look at things from outside less personal view. Right or wrong it's well thought out and is worthy of discussing. Anyways I hope the thread continues *gets out popcorn* |
You seem to claim a level of objectivity demonstrated in the way you put down everyone else analysis as inadequet. However you fail to justify many of the claims integral to your argument you just make unjustified assertions.
