MrBubbles said:5. Loyal FanbaseNintendo is one of the strongest brands in the world. In fact has become the “Kleenex” of gaming. Let me explain: you have probably heard non-gamers refer to their video game console as “a Nintendo” even when you clearly see that it’s a PS2. They call it a Nintendo because that’s what they or their parents grew up with and that type of childhood memory is hard to reverse. Because of situations like these, Nintendo has the biggest, most loyal, and oldest fanbase of any of the three consoles. That kind of root support almost gives Nintendo the Midas touch: anything they touch turns to gold. |
Actually, I took me quite a while to convince my parents that the Wii is not "a new Playstation". Admittedly a rather un-cool lecturer at my university tends to exclaim "you've been playing too much Gameboy!" whenever someone offers a violent interpretation in literary criticism. ^^
