Hardcore gamers don't read CNN or The Washington Post on a regular basis. Yet the mainstream now has an impact on the public's perception of video games. Wii has become a cultural phenomenon. Deveolopers are scrambling. Now a lot of people that never use to play video games see the Wii as something they would like to have in the house. Sony and Microsoft can still be successful just satisfying their core base. They know Nintendo is on to something but to openly admit it, like how Nintendo says they are reaching out, might alienate their core gamers. The Wii is not your fathers video game system. Still fans of Sony and Microsoft remain jelous of Nintendo's unending success. |
Very true. But, it's also why Microsoft and Sony shouldn't shot for this demorgaphic. They'll just lose. We can tell Microsoft doesn't have the right idea. No one cares about downloading children's movies and "Scene It"
I think Sony and Microsoft need to fight for the secondary console. Every house is going to have a Wii, and is likely to have either a 360 or PS3. They need to fight for those possistions. Becuase they are the ones who will enjoy the system, and be the ones where the money is.
