OK, now I get it. To sum it up there are no downmarketing in Ninty's part, only Ninty downstream their core market, which is a loyal fan of Ninty to introduced their new control schemes, and the non gamer follow suit. Then theres bridge games, proven with SSBB and Mario Galaxy, to introduced the new non gamer in the world of video games. So as Mario Kart Wii, which also bridge games for non gamers to enjoy driving games.
Then theres upstreaming not to upstream the downmarket, since there really no downmarket but to upstream the non gamer crowd in gaming. So there are 2 types of market Ninty is catering to, the non gamer which Ninty wants to cater to and their core gamer which is Ninty's loyal fans. So casual gamers and core gamers was really just a moot, theres no casual gamer, only non gamer which first introduced in gaming with Wii Sports and Wii Fit and the core gamers, which is Ninty's loyal fan.
Then theres 2 upmarkets, one is the HD consoles one and one is loyal Ninty fans one, the one HD consoles one isnt Ninty's target but the non gamer crowd and the loyal Ninty's crowd, so with these 2 markets Ninty will make a new market by combining these two markets. OOH I see, I see thanks for clarification. |
Yes. Soon the market is so huge that they simply cannot be given second rate games anymore. Third parties face destruction if they are not full on the NIntendo bandwagon and even then they may not be safe.Now they are faced with a dilemma.When then big core games on the Wii now start to finally pull the upmarket from the HD consoles just like the DS did then we will see real panic. This is real fear. This is why I don't give a damn when other third parties diss the Wii.I just laugh. Heck, here's one that no one believes and will surely tell me that I'm talking crap. Ready? Nintendo has the best online interface.Yes they do.Lack of content is the only thing now and don't worry it is fast coming. Something big happened the other day with respect to this with Sony immediately responding that they were focusing on profits at the expense of marketshare while they focus on their multimedia content.Sony moved further upmarket. Nintendo is reviving a plan that they set in motion since the late 80's but was stopped by sony before they were about to pull it off.I'll say this,Nintendo says that they mainly focus on games.They never said "only" on games |
So the third parties that makes casual crap on the Wii while theyre making AAA titles in HD consoles like Ubi and Konami are doomed then RIGHT? |
Not exactly. Ubisoft is aware of that issue, they don´t put so much effort into HD games anymore. Guess why Haze didn´t live up to expectations: They didn´t give them enough developement time on this one, the same goes for Lair: Factor 5 didn´t get Lair done with the budget they calculated for the game and the game turned out bad. Now Factor 5 is working on a Wii exclusive. The same will probably happen to Ubisoft.
Third parties did shift their resources already, you just couldn´t see it already.
