It would be far more accurate to say "price drop happens the day competitors' compelling software that utilizes motion controls are released"--coming out with motion controls, as little more than a 'me too' gesture, will have little-to-no-effect on Wii and that, I wager, is what keeps the execs at Sony and MS up at night. (For example, coming out with 'MS HD Sports' or 'Sony Motion Control Olympics' isn't going to get the job done but I'd bet staggering sums of money that that is about as creative as the execs at both Sony and MS will be: "we'll just clone Wii Sports and throw in HD graphics and we'll win!!") |
Take a look at every million selling Carnival Games, Olympics, Wii Sports, etc, and that is exactly what natal and psmote will replicate. The problem is its already been done successfully years earlier and the mainstream awareness of where these games actually are isn't on PS or MS platforms, its never been.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
