| Badassbab said: MS and Sony realise one of the big impediments to gaming is the controller (Nintendo already knows this) and while hardcore gamers will not approve of Natal (I don't care about it much though I'm willing to give it a try) the mass market especially women might start playing games cause of it. This is MS vision and the mass market won't care about a few milli seconds of lag or the fact that it can't go more the 30fps (most games can't anyway). There will still be room for the control pad, both will live side by side at least for a while. |
But isn't the high definition argument also voided by this same logic? The Wii's sales are proof that graphics do not matter, especially to this audience, so how do MS really think they can compete with the Wii?
Without graphics mattering we just dont know.
“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.
