Has this guy ever written a non-nintendo fanboy article?
In his eyes it looks like Nintendo = disruption.

Well guess what, Sega genesis = disruption towards then Nintendo empire in gearing the games to a more mature audience
Sony playstation = disruption for tecnology advancements and selling hardware at a loss.

Malstrom should really get off his Nintendo high horse...
Yes Nintendo is number 1 thanks to their disruption, but there was time when nintendo was being disrupted.

Actually he's very respectful to sega, but he notes that Sony playstation was not a disruption

I cant see how one wouldn't consider PS1 a disruption. The aspect of "make money on software, not hardware" sony introduced put atleast 5 other companies out of the hardware business (Sega, 3DO, Atari, SNK, Phillips CDI).

In any case, since Malstrom is always writing about nintendo, Id love to see him write an interesting article about how nintendo is using their best R&D teams to think of ways to expand the casual ocean...while having much smaller teams work on games for the hardcore.

We all know its true...why else would we be getting an outsourced Metroid game, a DS port of a Super Mario bros game and Mario Gallaxy 2...which Miyamoto himself said is mostly composed of ideas that didn't make it in to part 1.

As we've seen this gen, the lose money on hardware idea doesn't work, as Sony is heavily reeling and Nintendo is prospering

Oh come on, as much as you might like to reject it the PS1 and PS2 still did happen.   Are you going to tell me that selling at a loss had nothing to do with them winning, and do you think Nintendo's Motion control will allow them to win indefinitely?

Yeah it really didn't what benefitted them was first mover status, and third parties ditching Nintendo and their competitors doing more of the same.

Yes it'll help them win this gen without a doubt, they'll continue to dominate, then Nintendo will leave behind this red ocean of motion controls for a new blue ocean, the problem with the SNES-Gen PS1/N64 and PS2/Xbox/GCN gens were that companies were battling over the same red ocean, there were no disruptions.

Nintendo abandoned the red ocean this gen and sailed into the blue ocean and disrupted the market, they'll just keep moving into blue oceans, letting MS and Sony try to play catchup while losing tons of cash
