5. Actual good marketing |
Marketing does make a differnce, but I doubt its actually as big as many people think.
Great products sell themselves.
The fact that Nintendo came out swinning and gave people what they wanted from Mario & Zelda games, is what gave it such a strong start. In that sense I hardly think Marketing mattered at all, compaired (to just doing decent hardware + strong 1st party lineup early).
