You don't think Iwata Asks is interesting? Iwata and Miyamoto sit down and honestly discuss the creation of the Wii, and you aren't interested? I guess I assumed you like to follow the workings of this industry, seeing as you post here and all.
And how can I take anything you say about Nintendo seriously if you won't read a little about the strategy they are using? I'm not asking you to read the whole book, just the first few sections. You'll see that Wii fits the characteristics so well, that it could easily be used as a prime example in the book. Or, simply read a few of Malstrom's articles. Read SOMETHING so that you have a grasp of Nintendo's strategy beyond their PR catchphrases, before commenting on their potential success.
And I can't believe you actually declared yourself the "winner." Just sit back and watch the sales numbers come in. Honestly, you should start coming up with your alternate analysis of Nintendo's success right now, so that 6 years from now when Wii is still selling gangbusters, you can say "no one could have seen this coming!" even though many of us have.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
