Hi folks, I saw this posted by someone on a user's wall and I was wondering if you agree with this point of view:
| Our market will shrink this gen and be completely controlled by Sony and Microsoft with Nintendo picking up the table scraps (as they did two gens before that). Because Nintendo created a fad and attracted people who have no true interest in gaming and just saw it as a passing Christmas gift that they could just enjoy and throw away. Its the reason why generation after generation Sony sells 80 million+ and higher. Microsoft figured out how to have a stable fan base like Sony and they have over 80 million in sales now. They basically have half of the PS2 real estate. The Wii U is not completely the problem with the tablet...its that the market Nintendo created from the very beginning did not care about gaming enough to truly invest in future iterations. They are apart of the casual market. Look at the sales of consoles before the Wii and await the sales of consoles after. Nintendo went after a disloyal community of people who more often than not wont be coming back. They only respond to trends like the plague because of price and marketing. The Wii U is not the case because it doesn't make gaming simple for non-gamers to just enjoy and move on with their lives. The Kinect did that hence why it gained twenty million in sales off the back of the Wii. Microsoft knows the Kinect wont sell amazingly by itself because that casual ship has sailed, so they bundled the Kinect 2 with the Xbox One to make a profit regardless of whether it needed it or not. |
If not, what is flawed about it?
I'm interested in your responses.

Regardless of the content if you didn't write it and it isn't your original ideas you should always cite where it came from or credit the original writer of the piece since you're now getting Forum points for replies to this thread for a post someone else has written.
I'm sorry if you did after the second page of replies I kinda figured for me that I dont really agree with it too much to the point of even wanting to get into a chat about it, so yeah I'm sorry if you said who wrote it after that point.
