| Intrinsic said: Thats just a lot of BS and the writer of that article is disillusioned if he thinks that is the problem with Nintendo. Nintendo can market that console all they want, it just wouldn't make a difference. The people he's suggesting would pick it up if marketed properly, just don't care about consoles anymore, not even the PS4/XB1. Right now Nintendo's only change is to sell their console to the die hard Nintendo's elite and the 150M+ people or so that bought a PS3/360 last gen; unfortunately for Nintendo, those people care about the stuff he says doesn't matter. Like power, graphics and online features. |
How come so few people around these parts see it this way.
It's not the name. It's not the ads. It's not the games. It's the zeitgeist. Nintendo just isn't the du jour gaming company right now. And when people make claims about "good games selling" I think about music. I think about all the crap that is popular and I'd still go with my favorite indie/undeground artists who aren't responding to market or label pressures and who create amazing music. It doesn't mean that it's bad or should be marketed differently. It's just not for everyone.
I think many people around here act more like share holders as opposed to sociologists and cultural anthropologists. It's the latter that really helps you understand markets, in my opinion.
