We have many threads that just posted links to it, but never did I see where people actually discussed in detail about these articles, either if it was a bias against or for it. So in this thread people should explain how he is right or wrong. Please don't just say oh those are good articles, or those are bad. I also want alot of people who are against these ideas to post just so we could have a fair balance of discussion.
Well here I'm going to start this thread off with the most recent article.

I agree with everything in this article. He basically nailed nintendo's strategly down. You start out with casuals which gives you a massive userbase. Then you move from the downmarket(casuals) and move up to the upmarket(hardcore). The chart below shows this. Nintendo did the same thing with the ds. What kind of ds games do we see know? Rpgs.( FFCC:RoF,FF Remakes, Soma Bringer) What did we see in the beginning of it's life? Non-Fiction Games (Brain Age,Nintendogs). They do all of this while bringing alot of casuals with them. 3rd parties will always be behind nintendo, because they are slow on what nintendo is trying to do. They believe in the casual fallacy, rather than disruption. This is what I got out of this article, and believe it is the best article on how the wii's support will increase.
I will post on other articles I have read, but this will last too long. Feel free to post from any article you want. I may post about another article in a future post of mine in this thread. Please give information on why you agree or disagree rather than just say I agree or I disagree. Here is the link to the main page http://malstrom.50webs.com/.
