Generation 9 is already won for Nintendo

So which audience do I belong to? I play Nintendo games, PlayStation games, Xbox games and PC games. They most certainly are competing for my gaming dollar. And I know I am not alone. 

Do you really believe that out of those 100 million Wii owners that more than half of them didn't buy any other home console? Do you really believe that those of us who grew up on Nintendo don't buy a Sony or MS console?

And yes indirectly they compete with dog food companies as most people don't have unlimited funds. Though I was willing to stop at disposable income to make it less absurd.

I sure hope Nintendo doesn't take that view (that they don't compete with PS or XB) because if they do then there are more dark days ahead for Iwata and co.

@bold. You are part of an intersect of audiences who like both offerings. The part of you that likes Nintendo games was not compelled by the U. See, it's not complex.

@2. I never said that. There is an intersect, but Nintendo compels its customers by its own merits, not by competing with Sony or MS' offerings. Their content fails or succeeds depending on its delivery, not depending on Sony or MS'.

@3. Don't expect me to agree with you here. You're reaching way too far.

@4. They own that view. They have adopted the blue ocean strategy for a reason, if you want I can explain it to you.

I'm not reaching at all. Nintendo might be looking for its Blue Ocean but it isn't on an island. They are competing for yours, mine and everyone elses disposable spending cash. It's an irrefutable fact.

I know all about their Blue Ocean strategy and that is why they are moving on to health monitoring or whatever they recently discussed at their corporate meeting but I think you misunderstand the Blue Ocean concept as a whole.

Blue Ocean Strategy suggests that an organization should create new demand in an uncontested market space, or a "Blue Ocean", rather than compete head-to-head with other suppliers in an existing industry.

Sony and MS are both suppliers in an exsisting industry.

If Nintendo is deciding to move on and drop the console biz then you might have a point but right now they are just wading in murky waters.
