Can Nintendo be disrupted?

The mp3 players disrupted the Walkman, and the iPod disrupted the mp3 players. The iPod appealed to those who wanted to get a "better" music experience, and then they reached the mainstream via pricecuts.

The lol was for the shovelware part.

Also, sorry if my posts are a little confusing, but I find them fairly good for a 14 year old whose main language is spanish =P

I don't think a better wiimote would make a difference, simply enhacing existing products is not disruption. 

Well now, would you read the bolded parts. You could say MP3 players disrupted Walkman, but that's if you count iPod in them. The problem with MP3 players disrupting Walkman was, that when they came out, you had two choices, a)download music illegally from the internet b)buy the CD and rip the songs. Option "a" fails in the way, that ten years ago, internet wasn't as common as it is today and a lot of people doesn't want to break the law. Option "b" has the problem that having MP3 player seems kind of useless, since you could still use your CD player. What the iPod did? Along with iPod, came the iTunes, from which you could legally and easilly purchase music for your iPod. And the shovelware part is true, Nintendo and Sega were really picky about what games can be released on their platforms. Sony as a newcomer had to accept everything someone was willing to put on their platform.
