| TheSource said: Those games appeal to people who already game. There will always be a market for that, but if companies like EA are concerned about future stagnation (90% of resources going to sequels qualifies as stagnation) you have to believe there is a way to capture the larger audience. Like it or not, videogames will eventually reach billions of people, not millions, as all forms of entertainment do. Nintendo seems to be the only company equipped to appeal to non gamers and gamers. |
I don't think they appel to both gamers and non gamers. I think the appeal to Nintendo fans and non gamers. currently Zelda is the ONLY game that the claim could be made that appeals to Gamers. In that case Microsoft appeals to Non Gamers because they have Viva Pinata. Nintendo has not shown a single game that looks like a game I would say was Geared toward a Gamer. Now thats not saying they do not have fun games a gamer could not enjoy. I am saying Nintendo has Nothing geared toward "Gamers"
Its wierd you would bring up sequals while arguing a case for Nintendo? Mario Kart??? Super Mario??? Metroid??? Zelda??? Pokemon??? any game they come up with that is not specialy designed for the Wii mote is a Sequel. I do not agree though the fact there are More sequels is good for games it show support for titles. If you use your logic than Motion Pictures must be stagnant too ,but the truth is it is exactly the opposite this Summer alone saw very few original ideas in film yet it is already a record setting Summer for hollywood.
The only way Games will take off to the billions is a single Player. A machine manufactured by many companies much like a DVD play that can play all home console games. Sadly Nintendo would not the best equiped to do that. Imagine if Every Movie Studio had their own Media Player.
