^People wouldn't be interested, since the Wii already has those games |
Yes but not all the peoples have the Wiis.
|
They would buy the Wii if they wanted those games
|
I for one won't but the Wii for the motion games as I want more from my console (Blu-ray, online games, HD). However, if it were on the Ps3 market, something like Wii sports could get me interested.
|
You're already a PS3 fan/owner, you're already part of the incumbent market
|
I don't think that Natal/gem will target the same audience as Wii will. I see them targeting more a semi-hardcore gamer market, kind of interested in Wii-like applications, but wanting HD or more from their console. I'm not saying they will be stellar (in previous posts I said that both will not do so well), but they will garner interest and munch on some Wii sales that border on the hardcore.

in your dream only man,
what you call "semi-hardcroe" market is, in deed, the hardcore market + motion control
the main point of Natla/Gem is ==> mainstream casual crowd.
they will also try to put some hardcore game, sure, because hardcore are active players buying lot of games and generating some hype but those games will not reach the mainstream casual crowd and will have little impact outside the hardcore crowd
|
I don't think that it's just in my dream. Someone at Sony and Microsoft must have come up with the same idea, and they hold the belief that they will be able to take on board new users with the technology, while also selling to those who have already invested in their consoles.

Don't put too much stock in what company heads say, the CEO of IBM stated in the 50's that he didn't see a potential market for more than 5 home PC's, it would be a useless tool...
|
At the very least I'd assume that MS and Sony would have carried out market research to test their motion control ideas. IBM in the 50's was at a different level. They had answers to questions no one was posing. Yet.
