Nintendo set themselves up because of third parties? Nintendo are damned either way. They got tons of criticism for being too casual, so they cater for both this generation. |
Nintendo got tons of criticism for being casual, yes;however, their new controller is not as easy as a Wii mote. They got the marketshare they did because they made gaming accessible to people who dont want to learn a controller with a moderate level learning curve, and yet now ontop of the standard controller, behold, it has a screen on it. Nintendo thinks this will help with the casuals who buy the Ipad, but it wont. Casuals, especially in America stick to what is simple and hot at the moment and then they move on. Their marketing is also an issue, but the major early adopters were the hardcore.
