Phil Harrison: “But your addressable market is only 40% of the installed base because Nintendo’s own products are taking the first 60%. How do you work with that?”

I find this quote hilarious. He saying that it's actually impossible to compete with Nintendo's software. Don't even try, you will fail, no matter how good your idea is or how well you implement it.


 But not necesarrily because Nintendo's software is better lol, it's common fact that many Nintendo console owners buy Nintendo games, 3rd party titles are notorious for comming up short against Nintendo's. 



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

Well if Sony Japan had promoted things as Buzz ,Singstar and Eye Toy games maybe just maybe the Wii wouldnt be running with all the casual buyers just for it .IF it was more split (even 30% Sony and 70% Nintendo ) that added to the hardcore gamers that buy PS3 in Japan would be enough to compete .



To me Phil Harrison is a joke, even at 40% of the market Wii is seriously lucrative. And yeah he is ugly
