If you gotta sit up next to the screen to get it to work, or sit upright It's just not going to go over well. I know having no controller is a neat 'new' way to control things, but probably not a 'better' one. The wii was a huge success because their market was the type that like to get up and play around, alot of its success is from is watching the people try to play the game - it makes it seem like an activity, less like a video game. Going up against Nintendo for casuals, where they will not have a price advantage (if they start taking market from nintendo, nintendo will drop the price on them) is losing effort. |
I don't think it's always a matter of price. If the 360 could provide a particular kind of experience that caught on like wildfire and the competing systems were unable to match it then in my opinion a cheaper competitor wouldn't make much of a difference.
