I've read all the posts here and the problem with the industry wasnt Ninty themselves, believe it or not even without the Wii the core gamers and our generation will die anyway. Our generation grew up playing with consoles, like the NES, SEGA Genesis and Playstations. The real change came around when Koreans came into gaming business and develop games accesible to common people A.K.A. "online games" and simply because theyre online games doesnt mean theyre just MMORPG either. There are many genres with online games such as FPS and rhythm games like O2 Jam and Combat Arms and Warrock. And its free to play, so what you really need was a PC with broadband online connection and you're all set. And the development cost of these games arent really expensive so theyre profiting from this...


SONY and MS wants to addressed this issue OR ELSE we will be on second video game crash but this time, a console video game market crash thats why they make their consoles same as the PCs. The problem was WHY? Why even need it? Why would you want a console that also play games the same as in PC if what you really need was just a PC? Anyway, you dont even need to play Crysis just to play most of the games on the PC so no need for expensive hardware upgrades, what you really need was a decent PC and a good online connection and you can play most of the PC games online or offline.


Then came the Wii, where you can play differently unlike in other consoles YEAH, its a gimmick even 3rd parties notices it but it sells anyway. And it still continues to sell but why most of Ninty is catering to are the casuals? Because in reality, they want the consoles to be like a Karaoke, TV, radio or any household products and appliances than anything else. Or even Ipod for that matter, Ninty knew they cant compete with PCs in their own game so Ninty do the different approach. Its all for now since the posts are too long if I continue
