| glimmer_of_hope said: Richard why even bother trying to shed perfectly good light on Nintendo on this site? Everyone knows you cannot come on here and applaud Nintendo for their innovations and walk away unharmed. I mean really....Nintendo haters are already trying to say Nintendo's new controller is somehow copying Microsoft. When every other person knows that design was stolen from PC controllers years ago, with added features that Nintendo had years before that. And are people really trying to say Apple has the first concept of the tablet? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynabook But you are right. Nintendo simply comes up with the ideas, time after time. And it's all gimmicks until the other two copy one way or the other. |
I am looking at Nintendo, since the Wii, and their interest in doing Blue Ocean approach with home console. They were on the edge of being being bounced out of the videogame business and had to do something different. So, they decided to NOT pursue the most polygon and spec attempt and listen to what people were really wanting and having the balls to go and release it. It isn't just about coming up with ideas, or even if that is the main thing, but actually releasing a product with the features desired that are felt to reach the market in ways no one else is currently, and redefining it. Nintendo is now doing that. They are leading with vision. And they are the only company in the home console market doing it. In regards to the IT industry, maybe people can name a few others, but Apple has been the top that has come to mind. Release a product, watch as critics in the media and on forums like this rip them to pieces in a futile set of ranting, and then walk away with the market.
Nintendo is doing things no one sees will be coming out until it hits. They knock it, call it a flop, and if they are a partisan of another console go and turn around and herald the approach as something awesome. Look at selnor on here, regard Smart Glass, saying he is more impressed with it than Nintendo's tablet, without even knowing its availability in implementation, or even trade offs. Why? Because selnor is a Microsoft partisan, and sucks up to everything XBox out of Microsoft, right down to saying Alan Wake has the BESTEST console graphics EVA!
