Nintendo's gamer strategy and why they could take it all this next gen

@binary_solo: I don't think the PS base is anywhere near 60m, nor is Xbox's. They both had one very good selling point this gen: HD graphics. That and they had great 3rd party support. That's what sold the system to close to 70m gamers. If Nintendo only has a 20m base, do you really think PS360 has 60m each? No. =)

OP: I agree that if Nintendo plays this gen right, and the other two mess up Nintendo will win. If all consoles will have the same 3rd party support (which I think they'll have - see my sig for further info) I think there's a big chance of WiiU winning this gen.

Well if you look at my maths, and you see me saying that I reckon you can count 180 million consoles as having been sold already, then you see I think PS3 has a 60M base and 360 has something similar then that leaves 60M of my pre-sold consoles unsold. Clearly that's got to be Wii U. So I donb;t know where you get 20M for Wii U from.

Hahaha yeah I see now that I explained the part about 20m poorly. What I meant by that is that GameCube sold 20m, so that should be Nintendo's fan base. It makes me wonder why Sony, in less time, have manage to get a bigger fan base - but still not moving as much 1st party games as Nintendo... Or maybe I didn't understand what you were saying? Am I missing the point completely?
