Nintendo didn't take a risk at all. The Wii console is the cheapest to develop and had the cheapest launch price. The 3rd party games aren't doing so great but that hardly affects Nintendo considering their games sell extremely well. You act like it was impossible for motion controls and HD quality specs to coincide. The motion controls aren't that amazing, its basically just a mouse pointer that detects when you waggle it. |
Of course they took a risk and a big one bigger then any of the others as usual in this buisness it´s Nintendo bringing it forward or saving it from saturation.
It wasn´t impossible to do both but if they did and the motion controlls floped then the whole console would have flopped and they would be standing there with the costs of both. This way they got to test the motion out and improve it also so they are ready for next gen where they can merge the both.
The motion controlls are amazing not as amazing as they could have been but what do you expect from 1st generation motion controlls? perfection?
It takes time and small steps to get there and Nintendo had the balls to do it where the others didn´t.
Would I like it to have been the power of HD and Nintys motion controlls? Hell yeah, everytime I play on HD it makes me always think it would be so much better with a wiimote (assuming in would work with the game in question).
Can´t have it all at once we have to have it a step at a time and this is the first step, whatever happens from now on and who ever delivers the next step it doesn´t really mutter (even if I would prefer Ninty to do it) becaue we are in for a real treat gamewise in the future with better graphics and motion controlls all in one, lets just hope that they don´t forget gameplay evolvement when developing the other two.
