There's no arguing that Nintendo has taken an unconvential approach towards gaming this generation, but unlike the 360 and PS3, they're thinking about not only their current success but the future of the market their succes will depend on as a whole. The only place left for Microsoft and Sony to go with their current game market philosiphies is the PC market because that's basically what they're turning their game boxes into, PCs. 360 and Ps3 fans don't seem to mind either because they either prefer console gaming be more like PC gaming or are just simply blind to what lies beyond the horizon of the gaming market. These fans only see the pretty graphics and mature titles such expesnive behemoths have to offer, they only hear to the Company's cheap boasts of pioneering future technologies... they don't see the poor decisions these companies are making though, they don't see the plateauing of inflated gaming technology and the gaming economy as a whole, they don't see the ever narrowing appeal of their games to the market as a whole, they don't see the brick wall that is fast approaching. While the PC market has never died, it has never really been in anything but a steady state of the decline in its ever limiting appeal to the casual audience of gaming and all the more the 360 and PS3 are walking that very same path now. As games become increasingly more expensive, graphically oriented, genre tailored and less convenient to play they become less appealing and in the end only draw in a select few who deem themselves "Hardcore". This is the fate that awaits the 360, PS3 and their successors. Almost as if in response to Nintendo's expanding appeal, MS and Sony have limited theirs and are trying desperately to play the minority audience. Nintendo, while fighting an uphill battle, is none the less reaching the higher ground that will allow them to pass the brick wall that Microsoft and Sony are so proudly and blindly plowing strait towards.
