I've seen your reasoning behind that assertion, and would contest it. The tablet itself is no more intimidating than a DS, having no more buttons or functionality than the DS had (well, extra analogues, but still more or less the same as that very high-selling device). You're not seeing Nintendo "concede" to other forms of entertainment rather than acknowledge consumer difficulties with various forms of entertainment competing for TV space. Now for some, perhaps many, single-player games, you can compromise, lowering one of the barriers of entry for more upstream games (that you hog the TV by playing them so long). At the same time, the device means that Nintendo can go forwards with many of the Wii experiences, with local multiplayer games for all This just opens up more options. The remaining question is how these options will be utilized, but that's always what ultimately makes or breaks a console anyway |
Analog sticks are enough to intimidate, and having two is even more complex, not to mention, its not the same as the DS, the DS touchscreem was small and makde it look like a PDA, this looks like an Ipad with a Wiimote and two nunchuks grafted on.
Yes you are seeing it conced, Wii was about competing with all other entertainment, being the center of the entertainment relam of the household, this clearly shows concession, Baseball is on, move to the small screen, and if its a multiplayuer game, well too bad. The Wii was about controlling the TV space, and if you wanted to do other stuf, you did it through the Wii, not in place of the Wii.
No it doesn;t open more options, it isolates the gamer, and takes gaming away from the center of the house entertainment world , the fact that there is only one Upad proves this
