Is it that Miyamoto is obsessed with kids, or merely that he hasn't forgotten them? His games are for everyone, not just adolescent males.

And the one reason why they don't have to worry

My answers are No, No and No.

euros are much nicer stof

 yeah, i wanna see nintendo's 'final fantasy killer' apparnetly its an RPG made by the director of FFXII

I agree.

     #2 was a blessing for the Wii as during the past two Christmas seasons, Nintendo was able to generate a lot of hype for the system which led to the increased demand that it now enjoys such as past Christmas shortages cause increased demand  for in 2005 for the xbox 360 and has generally increased demand for toys like Cabbage Patch Dolls and Tickle Me Elmo.

     However, correcting the problem is a curse for Nintendo because once the console is widely available in stores with the opportunity for people that really know nothing about games but had their want for the Wii increased by co-workers who were Nintendo fans and the scarcity of the console finally be able to see what the console is capable of graphic and technology wise compared to what the other systems can do, their demand for the system will fall off. When you put the PS3 with Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, or Final Fantasy XIII while on the next shelf next is a cheaper than the Wii 360 running Gears of War 2, while all you have running on the Wii sitting next to them is Animal Crossing or Wii Music which by comparison will only look like about like SNES games, you will see fewer people buying the Wii.

Why are there so many people eager to look stupid with things like that? At least it's entertaining.
Let's ge on with it:
1. So Nintendo sells everything they make, forcing the competition to drop price below the Wii price to be relevant, and Nintendo is the one that needs to worry? Stupid people define the public behaviour, when obviously Nintendo is far better than them at knowing what the public at large want. Unfortunately, the author's pipe dream is far from reality: a "hockey mom" won't buy a XB360 because she can't find a Wii, that's nonsense. It's so obvious nonsense that I sometimes wonder if these people are not stupid.
2. Shortages of the Wii didn't help the competitors much in the past, so with the production of Wii now being up, it won't change anything at all now. Besides, this time around, I think Nintendo built a big stack of Wii for the holidays. Can they sell 3 millions Wii in a month? We'll see, but clearly, that's not sth that worries Nintendo.
3. Hardcore gamers are not what makes the Wii a success. Another pipe dream, that hardcore gamers are relevant enough to be the savior of any console. Anyway, they're not what makes a console a failure, though they're needed as early adopters. They're surely no reason for Nintendo to worry.

So Nintendo doesn't need to worry about any of these points.

1 - A price cut alone won't help the 360. Only if they made once a casual game that didn't flop would they have any chance.
2 - Some of them MIGHT get tired, but not a lot.
3 - Well yeah, they messed up this E3. They better push The Conduit, this might turn the situation around.

1. This won't have any long term affect as the price isn't the primary reason the Wii has been so popular.

2. Over the last few months Wii in the wild have been a lot more common I my retail trips. That combined with the fact that they have not been selling 2.5m/month WW suggests that they are stockpiling for this winter. I expect HUGE numbers over the holiday.

3. "hardcore gamers" lol!
a) mass market hardcore AND mass market >>> hardcore.
b) with games like Disaster, Conduit, and others in the upcoming Wii games thread, I think this ridiculas myth about core gamers will be trounced.
