In 2006, Sony thought brand name would be all that is needed to dominate.
Now it seems, 2009, Nintendo got into the same trap. "Everyone wants a Wii no matter what we come out with." They were resting too much. Nintendo may need to wake up again.
I'll say it here. From what I've seen, the PSP caught Nintendo off guard with the Wii. In Japan, portable consoles are in strong competition directly with home consoles. It's hard to believe as a Westerner, but you will see it if you go there.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
