| Fayceless said: "games that are for kids" = entire argument is invalid. As for whether or not Nintendo should copy Sony, why should they? Sony is not the paragon of good business strategy. Many people enjoy their games, but those games aren't keeping the company, nor the gaming department, in the black. Nintendo doesn't particularly excel at that sort of story-telling, so they leave it up to second and third partied to make those sorts of games, and they are right to do so. Nintendo does what it does best, and nobody does it better. |
Nintendo applys the light-hearted and child-like (with color scales and all) approach to games, which is why they are considered the disney of videogames. They are made to attract children and generally casuals. You'll find this is true with Nintendo products being more dear to women and children than any other brand and actually sharing a proper percentage of sales between males and females. The DS was like 50/50 in sales between both genders where as the others were dominated by men. I am sure the Wii was somewhere up there too. It's not that Nintendo isn't good at making certain games...it's that they don't want to because their first part represents them as a company.
