| snfr said: Your points make sense somehow, but I see a problem here. As you said Nintendo already captured the wand style motion control market, but doesn't the majority of this market consist of casuals who don't care about how powerful a system is? I mean, why should people who play only/mostly casual games upgrade to the N6? Ok, a touch-screen controller also has some possibilities and will get people interested, and in the end it's the games who make people buy something, that's for sure. But still, those 'casuals' who are interested in motion controls but haven't bought one yet could simply buy a Wii when/after the N6 releases, and that for a much cheaper price. |
If someone has a Wii and they don't upgrade to the NES 6 then they don't lose a customer. If someone has a Wii and upgrades to the NES 6 they don't gain a customer either. This is the reason why the NES 6 exists because they need it to target people who aren't Nintendo customers and sell them a system in order to grow as a company but at the same time they need to retain what they already have or they would be going backwards instead. The important distinction here is Nintendo customer vs non Nintendo customer and how they cater to each group.
Tease.
