@joecool im sorry but im gonna have to roll with Rol on this one. Wii was not an offensive against Sony or MS, dont know where your getting that from. They stated more than once they were going after a different audience and they did get a different audience, look at the games that sell on Wii, look at the ones that sell on HDs. DS was the same damn thing, they wanted to capture a different audience, now with the 3DS you can say that they are trying to capture the PSP portable game console crowd. While i dont agree with Rol that they needed a 2d mario game day 1(dont know the obsession with that is, just play one of the dozens of ones that have been released) i will agree that it has not worked. No one really cares about the 3D and they have had to drop the price already. Look at the ads, there is much more focus on console series games.
IMHO its not about offensive, its about image, Ninty is the family friendly console, thats what they are and when they try to fight that and run with the edgy crowd, they fail. N64 tried it, it didnt work, they sorta tried with GC didnt work. There trying again with 3DS, its working better, but not as much as they liked
