Consumers is such a generic term and can mean lots of things. I think what Nintendo does on the business side of things, is look at long term goals. Sony and MS chase trends. Nintendo tries to look past them or flat out make them all by themselves. That's why they have been turning a profit for damn near their entire run as a game maker. But at the heart of this, is the fact that, like I said, they ARE games. This is all they do. They don't make OS for mobile and PC machines, tv's, portable music players, cell phones or try to make "entertainment machines." They make GAME CONSOLES and GAMES...period. I think that level of dedication and passion, that leads to knowledge and that knowledge allows them to succeed where other fall. |
Actually Sony brought long term goals to the industry. They brought ten year planning. Nintendo generally has shorter gens than Sony. Microsoft copied Sony's ten year plan because they have no plans of their own but to dispatch Sony. Gaming is now one of Sony's bread and butter points so they are trying to cover every base. The only uninspired group out of everyone really is Microsoft.
