| ImJustBayuum said: Although the Wii is the market leader, it doesnt seem to get the respect from the gaming community (industry) + media as opposed to the HD twins. The hd twins seems to be the mascot/face of gaming, and the wii is simply disregarded or ignored. 3 main reason IMO for this. 1) it lacks innovation in regards to alot of gaming aspects (graphics etc) 2) Third parties are just not selling, relative to its marketshare. 3) its has a more casual demograhic as oppose to the traditional " gaming" demograhic |
Implying graphics, and draw distance, is the only merit of innovation. Well i guess MS is going to waste millions on a product that isn't innovative enough to be valuable to a consumer and win this generation.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
