You'll have to indulge me, in that I have no background in business studies, thus I could be improperly using terms that have a very strict meaning and causing undue confusion. Improperly put, long text follows :) 1) I suppose you could say that they "created" their new market, indeed, as in tapping into a market that was probably almost untouched since the days of Pong or the very first home consoles, before they became intimidating for most people. I didn't say that Nintendo filled out holes in an old market, merely that the two HD consoles moved towards a different battleground. ,,, 2) Proper market disruption would mean that the novelty popularized by Nintendo can't be fully pursued by Sony or MS because of their business model. And thus that it will always give Nintendo an edge as it gnaws the market from under their feet, up to the point where all gamers' needs are fulfilled by a new and different evolving line of products. ... I just say that it's not a given for several reasons. PS: haughty? English is not my first language, thank god, thus such undertones zoom over my head all the time :) |
Point well taken. I believe we share our opinions in this matter.
PS. I assume that to be a sarcastic remark on your part, as it is in fact quite haughty (depending on how you interpret it, of course - is it a good thing English is not your primary language, or is it a good thing you don't easily notice people's attitudes towards you (which I doubt), or both?). In either case, the irony was not lost on me.
