| The Ghost of RubangB said: Natal and the PS3 Wiimote pose no threat to Nintendo and Nintendo doesn't need to do anything about them. Nintendo created the motion control war and already won it. Nintendo is the home of fresh new ways to play games, whether it's motion controls, IR controls, or balance controls. MS and Sony are now playing on Nintendo's turf. That's not how you fight Nintendo. Microsoft should focus all their energy on XBox Live. That's their golden goose. They won the online gaming war, and everybody can tell PSN and trophies are a lame ripoff of Live, achievements, and gamerscore. But if they're all going to switch their focus to fight the greatest software developer in the world on their own turf... they're not going to win. But hey, in a couple months Sony will release "Motion Party" and we'll see if it can compete with Wii Play or Wii Sports or even Mario Party or Wario Ware or Carnival Games. Nintendo's success has made it clear that you can win an entire generation with new ways to play and new ways to market. If HD graphics mattered, the XBox would have smoked the PS2, and the Wii wouldn't be the revolution that it is. |
I agree with what you say,
MS should concentrate on Live and make it free, or at least allow online MP(multiplayer) to be free and make a VIP account that gives you MP+ all the other extras.
MP online on Wii and PS3 is free. so to make the playing field even then they should give the consumers the choice for all the extras.
