| binary solo said: It's possible the Wii market is a kind of skip a generation market. You're not going to get family casuals buying consoles every generation. But if you wave something shiny in front of them every other generation they might get drawn back in. I'm not so optimistic as Ubisoft, but if Nintendo did some market research and found that a lot of people who only bought Wii would be likely to buy another similar, but more advanced, console in the next 2-4 years then they might be onto something. The question is, if the family casual audience has a very extended generation time, what will Nintendo do for the 3-5 years where no one wants to buy their hardware? It's a risky model to have a 4 year in 10 sales model. It'll be interesting to watch what happens. |
If that's going to be the case, I'd just throw in the Wii brand with Nintendo's QoL business and let Miyamoto and his wacky ideas for input devices take control of it.
