You know it has to be mentioned at least once in every Nintendo thread by now Khuutra :P OT: Yeah it's odd that they didn't have a good line of games ready to go, probably too much time spent on new concepts and ended up at dead ends and not enough tried and true games to at least keep things going how they wanted, either way the third party support kept me satisfied just none of it was another "next big thing" title like they mention. |
It started at e3 2008. Before the conference they said they were going to be showing lots of new games for the core. Then, the conference just seemed off from the start. When Reggie said they had one more game to show, everybody thought it would be Kingdom Hearts 3 since Microsoft showed FFXIII at the end of theirs and instead it turned out to be Wii Music.
E3 2009 was awesome. It was right up there with the PS3's conference in many ways as the best one with MG2 and Other M. (However, to be honest, I would love to see how those games would be on one of the two more powerful techwise consoles instead).
But, in the end, someone failed to deliver the traditional games in 2008 to bring in the traditional gamers and the expanded audience that expands your install base are only interested in very few games in the series that brought them to the console in the first place.
You can have the expanded audience to keep expanding your install base, but you need the traditional games to keep bringing those that traditionally play games to your console -- see DS.
