Now I've started and am addicted to making threads (and adding polls), and I try to come up with interesting topics for people to talk about. @puffy Very nice post. Well thought out. Can you paste a link or copy your analysis for NSMB from the other thread? On topic I'm very surprised as of this comment Wii Sports Resort has 70% of the votes. While that is also what I voted for, I thought some people might have been surprised by the drop in weekly sales for the game so far (although I'm convinced they will level off in all regions like they had in Japan). |
Iwatas 4 to 8 week rule applies here. Sure there has been a drop in other markets (most likely due to the original buzz giving it a huge opening) but WSR sales jumped up 30% in japan last week. Did u notice that?
“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.
