I don't think the PS3's possibility of achieving first place lies more with Nintendo than it does with Sony.

The Wii has to maintain a certain level of consistency , i'm not sure if Nintendo can rely on the casual market for another 5-7 years.

Welcome to the community.

 

Are you familiar with Nintendo's disruption strategy? Think of the gaming market like a pool with a shallow end and a deep end. MS and Sony dove head first into the deep end but not everyone jumped in with them. Nintendo waded into the shallow end and had a lot of people follow (from casuals to hardcore).

The plan is to work their way up the complexity level (moving into deeper waters) via 3rd parties which at E3 you'll see the beginning of this happening.

In a couple of years time, the complexity spectrum on Wii will be from one end of the pool to the other so they won't be concentrating on just one target market.

 

As for Kaz, sounds like he inhereited more than just a title from KK.

 


 

Thank for the welcome but i'm not new , just the "lost password" function isn't working for me :(.

If you saying what I think your saying then I agree , I think the future of the Wii lies hugely in the hands  of the third party developer and with the cost's of developing on the Wii in comparison to the PS3/360 i'm pretty sure the third party developers have no problem with supporting the Wii till the end of this generation.

I was put of by the idea of Nintendo relying on 3rd party support later on in this gen because of some Nintendo fanboy's crying about how 1st party exclusives would carry the Wii until the end of this generation.
