How someone can be so wrong in such a short period of time is beyond me. Yeah, those 85 million sales are just me hallucinating. Yeah, the iphone, which isn't even a handheld games console, hindered a home console's sales. And let's not even go into the Kinect debate. |
I don't consider surviving, solely off the back of bridge/casual titles, alive, but you know definitions, etc. The casual market derives its interests off things like Wii Sports, the rubiks cube and hulahoops, to argue that IPhones aren't part of that market is ludicrous. Lets not forget Nintendo have said consistently THEY are competing with ALL other entertainment.
“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.
