At least this one had the courtesy to make a passing reference to the market being re-molded in that the Wii is kicking the 360 and PS3's incrementally upgraded butts, but still. The entire article stinks of the "ignore it and it'll go away" mentality surrounding the market disruption. News flash: it doesn't work like that. When new values are injected into a market, you either adapt to them or die out. It's happened this way in countless markets over the entire span of human civilization with no deviations. Don't be the ice cutters who got put out of a job because they thought the electric refrigerator and freezer would never catch on. |
Sony/MS success is independent of Nintendo's as long as the products are sufficiently different, as long as Nintendo keeps concentrating on achieving sales to "new" demographics, and as long as at least one offering is relatively cheap.
Now, among similarly (higher) priced consoles, it's much more true that one company wins at the expense of others (happened last gen...)
