"I think the areas that are going to be really critical to our success will be family games, as well as shooters and sports games. Those are going to be the areas that will really define success, because they're areas that quite honestly, I think Project Natal and the Wii are going to have trouble matching, from a differentiation standpoint"

I think they've sealed their own fate. The reason why the Wii and DS sell more than the other consoles is because they were different. Copying what the Wii does best is...not wise.

why?

Because ripoffs of big names don't work. The casuals were on the Wii since 3 years ago.

if they can sell it to more cacusal players they won't care.

You can't sell it to consumers if you don't understand their desires

maybe they do?

No, his comments prove he doesn't he thinks the holy grail is putting people into the game, when that's not what the downmarket wants, the downmarket isn't looking for immersive epics that suck you in

Do you know what the downmarket wants?

Yes, and you can see it too, look at the big games on Wii, they aren't immersive games, they are games you can play for a few minutes and put down, games you can play socially, games that can fit into your life, this is what the downmarket wants
