Thats fine and all but I also want a kick. I have spent way more time on my xbox 360 and even though I have put in time on my Wii. They need to include a achievement system. I know some say, who cares, well I do. I like to go back and run through all the sh-t I have done. It brings up more reasons to play games That I have not touched in a while. Like Dead Space 2, I went throught that game over and over because of this and I enjoyed it because it had a new reason everytime. You can play through games a few times and have fun but when you give it a new reason or view, it makes it more enjoyable. Atleast thats what I think. So they need to also add this to contend in the fun department.
Also, what about there online? I understand they want to focus on the game but giving more to the customer only adds to the game. Now I will give them graphics can cut into the fun factor sometimes but I don't think this with this gen. I enjoyed more games on my 360. I also used the Wii for older games that I enjoyed in my childhood. The Wii's big success was from the casuals wanting to try the future of gaming. Most don't even touch it anymore. The next gen I don't think they will catch as many people.
So This I think is why they are shipping early, they know this. They need to cut in early to get the people sick of this gen, Me being one of them. I will buy in mainly just because I want something new to play with. The innovation is not my main focus, however HD Mario is. So don't tell me graphics don't play a part because they do. I do agree that there is going to be less and less going forward but lets not forget the causual market is not going to buy like they did in the past. I do think that hitting the market at the right time plays one of the biggest roles and people seem to forget that and nintendo has not.
So I think the market is fluid and has many different reasons to buy in. Games, First party, Third party, shipping date, Innovation, price, graphics, controls, online, media etc... So to say it's just focusing on one thing or the other is not looking at the full story. Nintendo did the right choice by shipping early and this will be there success. They will win third party with this and will allow there system to be the in the lime light for some time.
