Nintendo's new strategy works without a shadow of a doubt, so the others are forced to act in a similar way. It seems clear that graphics have reached a certain point where megaleaps of hardware increases shows less and less difference than before. The differences between this generation and the last were smaller than the one between PS1 to PS2 and those were smaller than the ones between snes to PS1. Isn't that the reason that Nintendo came with the focus on fun and not graphics? That wouldn't have worked well before the wii. There was a staleness creeping in the gaming bussiness. Nintendo saw it, acted after its feeling and struck gold. Neither company's will not throw much money down a hole when it's not needed. None of the three. The funny thing is that Nintendo doesn't depends on graphics but on color and style. So it possesses a clear advantage over its rivals. The next generation could be very interesting. |
They can't lower their graphical power. When they do, the core uses will see them going "casual" and demand they change back. The new market probably wont take to well as Nintendo is dominate in the new market. So, they will be forced to retreat upstream. This is why Sony is doomed becuase their system is too powerful. Some have suggested that Sony could make the PS4 only slightly better, but core users will want Sony to make it even stronger. Sony will have to make the system stronger and stronger to keep up with users demand for powerful consoles. The Playstation line wont last much longer afterwards.
