| VGPolyglot said: My main problem with this argument is the idea that it was a fluke and Nintendo just somehow lucked out. They knew that if they came up with an innovative idea (motion controls) that they could tap into an audience that wouldn't ordinarily buy consoles. Acting like it was just a fluke/outlier is ignoring the fact they Nintendo also came out with the DS at a similar time, which also had it's own innovative features and sold 50 million more units than even the Wii. |
Terms like "fluke" don't really matter. The fact is, it will be an anomaly until they replicate it. That's all it means.
As for the DS, that's a different market than what he referenced. It's fine to talk about it but it's not part of this particular discussion.
That being said, if the NX does actually combine the two markets then some of the ways we define things will have to be reconsidered. At this point, though, we're still looking at rumors.
