in all wii matters, looks at the DS, it shows to future.
just like the wii, DS has both normal (casual), gamer (hardcore) and core (nintendo fanboy) in its audience. the difference is DS got more third party support and therefore has a greater percentage of hardcore gamer. thats nintendos big task.
the depite the after E3 moaning the core will stay with nintendo, weve already seen that there looking to release more frnachises on wii than any other console.
the normals, may upgrade slower, therby nintendo will want to not rush out wii's successor first like everyone thinks. as the wii __ series draws to a close they will need a new hook, perhaps a nintendogs wii, or a completely brand new idea.
gamer theyll go where the third partys go and right now thats on the HD consoles. nintendo needs to bring them to wii and thats already happening. In japan they look to be developing a real stranglehold on third party exclusives. nintendo wont get many quality multiplats so exclsuives are extremely important. They already have the backing of sega and marvelous, and many more. with DQX and MH3 nintendo is bringing the gamer japan crowd to wii, and the 3rd parties will follow. This however is not happening the west. Ubisoft, Activision, EA, whist supporting the wii to some extent are not giving it their full backing. nintendo needs to change this and fast, in order to change the wiis image with the gamers before this gen is over.its gunna be difficult, third partys are styill having more luck with multiplatform HD and unlike japan there are no huge exclusives to amke use of. They could prob get a GTA game but the main title is already out. They've already used up most of their own major franchises.
so nintendo needs to get out some big games of its as well as preasuring for more exclusives These big games must appeal to the gamer as well as the core. the other tactic, is converstion. whilst bringing in new normals nintendo is hoping to turn these normals into cores. there putting a greater emphasis on the social abillities of online and releasing the play on wii collection to get the normals interested in nintendo's franchises. Theur stratergy worked with DS and im sure it will work with wii
nintendo fanboy, but the good kind
