That was a brilliant article.
Here's my summary:
Nintendo didn't move forward. They didn't need to. They moved sideways, and now Sony and Microsoft are killing each other while looking over their shoulders at the Wii with huge question marks over their heads wondering where all the money went.
I remember a game that was huge back in the day. In fact, the whole planet played this game. It was Pac-Man. It had ZERO buttons. Anybody could play it, and everybody did. Wii Sports is the new Pac-Man. You just... swing. It's fun. Do people who hate Wii Sports because it lacks depth hate Pac-Man for the same reason? If so, they have no soul.
Non-games are the new non-non-games, but regular games aren't going anywhere. Don't worry folks. The market's just expanding like never before, and there will be room for everybody.
