There is nothing pyrrhic about the Wii's success. A successor that didn't follow the Wii's footsteps doesn't marginalize the Wii's success. It makes the successor a failure, not the Wii. If you are going to use the word "pyrrhic" for anything in the seventh generation, it has got to be the PS3. |
Sony expirience no 'pyrrhic victory' this gen, they need to first get a victory before that's applicable. Given the position Sony was in at the end of the PS2 era, the PS3 is an outright failure.
You are right in the former though and I'll concede the point, my perspective encompasses Nintendo's bussiness direction, which is not the question the OP asked. But to explain my perspective; my opinion is that the success of the Wii with the expanded audience and the subsequent exodus of the core audience damage the brand and decrease the chance of the successor when it got painted in the same brush and failed to also capture the expanded audience.
The pyrrhic victory here should really be Nintendo's and not the Wii.
