So a toy is to drive console adoption. Um no. It could be great as its own thing. Blue ocean is gone, was a temporary thing. They should focus on existing markets not hopes of a new blue ocean.

There's our difference in views. You're looking at it as some crappy toy. I'm looking at it as a part of the system's hardware, which it is. It's clearly a major part of Nintendo's strategy or they wouldn't have built it into every Wii U ever made.

I think it's stupid to focus on existing markets when your opponents are a hardware powerhouse and a corporation that could buy you a hundred times over. They have a unique system in place that their opponents can't copy, they should focus on marketing that system much more than they currently have.

I never said crap.  But a toy will not sale consoles.  The average gamer age is 30 or something.

They are game developers.  Develop games of every genre directly competing with ms sony is exactly what they should be doing.  Every genre they dont make they concede that market to their competition and lose that genres sales to them.
