you really think they won this gen because of not going hardcore? - no they didn't,as they would have been again overshadowed had the PS3 been $249.the PS3's expensive price let Wii get the attention and now having a bigger brand they can go back to hardcores

You can't possibily believe that..

so you think Wii would be in the same place and PS3 would still have been last  if PS3 was priced $249....................lmao

First of all, the terms "hardcore" and "casual" are stupid useless branding created by the industry to attempt to explain the Wii's success and make nerds feel cool for playing games so much.

no its not.hardcore are serious gamers which follow gaming contunously and casuals that just jop on to enjoy when something popular and COOL comes in

don't you even know english.do you feel insecure that you might not be a hardcore but a casual gamer.

Nintendo "getting hardcore." What does that even mean??

it means Nintendo catering and making games for hardcore gamers

Second, the Wii got its success because it appealed to new and oldschool gamers,

only because PS3 sold expensive.if PS3 would have released at $249 the new and casual gamers wouldn't have even got on-board as Wii would have been overshadowed like the Gamecube.

PS2 had many casuals on-borad

what the hell do you mean by oldschool gamers?

something Sony and MS do not know how to do,which is why their console have less sales,

do you even know what influences the sales?

even now when their prices are so close to the Wii. You can now buy an Xbox 360 for LESS than a Wii, yet still the Wii outsells it.. Why is this?

PS3 is nowhere near close to Wii price and now PS brand has been damaged

for XBOX,it never had a big brand so why would it sell more.

do you even know what you're talking about means?

Because most old people, little girls, and soccer moms would probably rather play Wii Sports or Wii Fit

most of those people wouldn't even know Wii if it didn't get attention and wasn't popular

PS3 being expensive brought attention to the Wii

Wii was the thing to get and COOL which the people you mentioned above run behind

than MGS, COD, or Heavy Rain.The expanded audience, including oldschool and non gamers, do not want to play over the top violent games with endless cutscenes and complex controls.

PS3 if lower price would have gotten causal games like PS2

If price is such a big factor, Gamecube would have been been the market leader,as it was cheaper than the competition.

YEAH but Nintendo didn't have the brand name which PLAYSTATION did when PS3 launched

If all Sony had to do to remain market leader was release their console at $249, why didn't they just DO that??

cause they wanted to push blu-ray which will bring royalties to them

are you a baby that you don't understand these things,do you even follow gaming?its like you know nothing.you are asking question that are common knowledge

Price has little to do with the Wii success.

so the biggest brand PLAYSTATION would have just gone down even at $249..............lol

Blue Ocean strategy and Disruption have EVERYTHING to do with its success, which you clearly have not heard of, or refuse to believe it.

that strategy doesn't work when you don't have a good brand name  and the other competitor is no loser
