| Sky Render said: I don't doubt that the Wii has enormous untapped potential, because it does; the insane unmet demand for it has been evidence enough of this. The fact that it's in such high demand at above the standard "bargain" price of $200 is also solid evidence of its power. But (as my adenum to my previous post mentions) this could all get shot to heck if somebody releases a system for a comparative price that has the same control setup and better capabilities, and draws all the attention away from Nintendo ("Why wait for the Wii to be in stock when you can get this new system for just a bit more and get the same features?"). Sony and MS might not, but they're just the known quantities... |
The only companies I can think of in around the same type of market (ie. computers) with the audacity to try that and the pockets deep enough are Google and Apple.
Google hasn't shown any signs of wanting to move away from the software side of things and Apple has never really shown any signs of interest in the videgame market. In any case I doubt Apple would want to move into the already over crowded market.
