Words Of Wisdom on 29 October 2007
| ElRhodeo said: While I definitely admit that Halo or Bioshock are games of very high quality, it's statements like these (or his Manhunt 2 move) that make me question if Reggie is the right man for Nintendo. Reminds me of the "SNES vs. Genesis" history, when Sega of USA's campaigns became so aggressive that the Japanese leaders of Sega didn't even talk to them anymore. Halo is a very "un-Nintendo" game, and I'd bet that Miyamoto and Iwata hate it. Nintendo has a certain philosophy, but Reggie seems to have little understanding of it. He's simply interested in anything that sells. Halo sells big? DO WANT. He'll have them make "Super Mario Manhunt", if he thinks it will sell. On the other hand, the US market has a preference for edgier games and attitude (no offense), so maybe he IS the right man after all. Little big planet is a different story. |
The problem is that the people who buy Wiis are the people who enjoy Nintendo games. The people who buy 360s are the people who enjoy Halo and Bioshock-type games. Putting those style games on each other's console isn't a bad thing but expecting similar sales probably is.
