Im posting about "online games" was games that are downloadable free to play online games that are made in Korea like the one advertising in this site right now. Since thats what we call those games "online games" Im not posting online games themselves since online games already made since korea came.

About the videogame crash, in reality we dont even know even game company themselves why suddenly there is videogame crash at that time so how do they really know. But there are many factors why the videogame crash came in the 80's. If MS KNEW traditional consoles isnt profiting anymore then why MS even pursuing it? WHY? Because MS didnt knew any better. The sales are the real proof of it, Im not basing my opinions here anymore MKWii, Wii Fit, Wii play and Wii Sports are still selling and it continues to have legs while Metal gear Solid and GTA IV wasnt even in top 10 anymore.

Im not even calling it casuals anymore maybe a lower tier but lower tier games are actually selling than upper tier games proof that the industry was actually changing. And after E3 Ninty didnt do it the other way. Even 360 drops it price it ddint do them any better the Wii is still winning and because of the games that are released months before like Wii Fit. We cant still explain why Ninty still caters to casuals even with Wii Fit and MKWii already out and theyre still catering and milking to it with Wii Music and Wii Sports Resort. YEAH, Wii Music was actually good but we "core gamers" this game wasnt what we really want. We must not be blind about this, even Sean malstrom mock the hardcore saying on his blog about the 4 horsemen of apocalypse and the asteroid scene on his website. Malstrom didnt joke on his blog about it about the end of core gamers, he says it on his blog because thats what he thinks what will happened. If you've read all of his blog and articles theres no article that he didnt mentioned hardcore gaming and end of it, its always there.

We must just accept on what will happened even I accepted it.

About this; "In reality, people who buy (any) product, wants the product to perform the job they bought it for" then why not buy a PC? It do its gaming function and more and there are PCs that are only little expensive or little cheap than the Wii. You dont need to actually play Crysis to buy a PC only a decent PC can serve its gaming function.
 

Flash games? Yes, they are quite popular everywhere.

 

In reality, crash happens when you spend more money on the market than you are able to get out from it. If the audience stays the says and the developement cost go constantly up, it's eventually going to happen. It's just a financial fact. And the crash is even more imminent, when only the "blockbuster" games have a future, since after that everyone tries to make similar games than the blockbuster game, which eats away the sales of the games that would "normally" be blockbusters. Also, the fact that only the sequels seem to get high sales, indicate that the market is stagnant and ready to crash. The crash is always about financial issues, no matter what's causing it.

 

There's no such thing as "casual", that's the first thing to keep in mind when trying to understand the market. All that counts is, how many games you purchase.

Nintendo isn't "milking" with Wii Music and Wii Sports Resorts. Wii Sports Resorts is a demo for Wii Motion Plus, just like Link's Crossbow Training was for Wii Zapper and Wii Music is a blue ocean game, that's supposed to expand the audience even further. Besides, since Wii Music is one of the first games that have been in developement for Wii, Nintendo isn't cancelling one of their important game considering the strategy. After all, Nintendo isn't milking any more than what M$ did with Halo 3 or Sony with Resistance 2. The new audience isn't dumb, they are only going to buy games that intrests them and if they liked the games, they keep buying new games, if they didn't, you can kiss them goodbye.

 

MKWii is the most important bridge game Nintendo have put out so far, and i believe it stays that way, while still putting out more bridge games. What Nintendo is doing, is to upstream the new gamers into the existing core games, which means more sales for the current kind of games.

 

So Nintendos objective isn't to make money with the new audience, but to integrate the new audience into the existing audience and make money while doing it. When all the consoles have stopped selling, Wii has the highes attach rate of all the three consoles and that's because the new audience have upstreamed. The audience bought Wii Music, moved to Mario Kart Wii and eventually went on buying Super Mario Galaxy.
