They said the DS has a bunch of “cartooney” games, you know Pokemon – games that are skewed a little bit younger – we’re going to have the PSP and we’re going to have Grant Theft Auto and we’re going to have really cool, edgy, Monster Hunter kind of games and we’re going to capture that older audience and it didn’t work.” |
Wrong, Pachter. The move was not "brilliant at the time" because Sony did the exact same move when it entered the market in 1995. Nintendo saw the obvious move coming and beat them to the punch with Sony's own game of "appealing to a wider audience"
Sony: Hah! Our PSP caters for those older audiences than your portables do!
Nintendo: Yeah, you pulled that one on us before. That's why our portable is going to be designed to appeal to everybody.
