| HappySqurriel said: A lot of people really dislike the success Nintendo has seen with the Nintendo DS and Wii because it goes against their belief system, and rather than questioning whether their beliefs were valid they cling to them and assume that the end is just around the corner for Nintendo ... While most of these people want superior graphics and more complexity to push games towards being an "Art" and think this will drive more people to adopt games, Nintendo has been successful with a system that produces modest and more approachable graphics, a simpler and more intuitive experience, and focuses on games being "Play" for people of all ages. |
This is very nicely written Happy...but please consider nintendo today without waggle. All this success wouldn't be here. Graphics, games has nothign to do with nintendo sales.
Many people have said this and nintendo fans may take offense but Wii is a gamecube 1.5 with waggle control scheme...
Why would thier games sell consoles now when the playing field is even higher, when they didn't 5 years ago...especially considering that very minor updates are given these new games other than the new control scheme.
This article is saying that nintendo success is atributed to their games which is as crazy as saying that Sony PS3 success is atributed to bluray... nooo, its why it isn't number 1 right now.
