Nice post, that was a cool read.
Disruption happened the moment the Wii was placed on the market allegedly. His reasoning for this is simple:
Compared to the HD Twins:
Wii is crappy and Targets consumers the HD Twins had no intention of going after when the Wii went after them.
What your talking about is a paradigm shift, Malstrom did actually hit on that subject I'm not certain anymore, I just remember him writing something about paradigm shifts.
But basically that would be where Asymmetrical business judo would begin, and his entire point is to SEE WHAT NINTENDO WILL DO TO RESPOND TO THE EMERGING MOTION TECH of the competitors.
Malstrom believes that the onset of the shift would be when Sony and Microsoft responded with Motion Controls.
He admitted not knowing much about Natal until later where he said it would be a Wii answer project. The contradiction may occur based on when he gathered information; at least he doesn't ninja edit =P.
Looking at it at first one could think that Microsoft answered Sony's answer for the Wiimote, but that's just plain silly, however I remember a post on this site from Gamasutra I believe where an undisclosed investor made vocal in 2007 I believe that he though Microsoft was fighting ghosts in the form of Sony, he went very in depth with certain bits of info, I think the link is on this forum.
But your stance is very very reasonable, I can see the logic. =)
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
