Sure the 3d I listed isn't mainstream, but if it doesn't have that, it is even less differentiated. In a market where Nintendo is holding all the cards, letting them take an entire section of a new market is a mistake, especially when the wii proved that nintendo is great at finding new untapped markets. |
1. Just because you claim those are does not mean they actually are. And if you mean those are on mainstream devices, then that doubles that Sony shouldn't use them since they would follow the red ocean. People already have phones. Just imitating the iPhone makes it a Zune. Other features are geek wants, not mainstream wants.
2. They should let Nintendo have that and make their own market. The point of the red ocean is that you avoid it. At least until you are ready for disruption, but Sony needs to make their own market before trying for something like that. Apple couldn't make a dent against Windows, but when they found their own markets, even Bill Gates was reported to be worried.
Frankly, Sony's best best is to include something a lot of you aren't going to like, but the mainstream will love. I don't know what it might be, or else I would try to make or pitch such a product myself. The reason it needs to be something you tech people hate is that it ensure they won't try it themselves until it is too late.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
