Forums - Nintendo - The Four Stages of Wii

liquidninja on 26 March 2009

Here's an interesting article from a developers perspective:

The Four Stages of Wii - by Don Daglow

Summary

  • 2004 - 2006: Denial
  • 2007: Anger
  • 2008:  Grief
  • 2009:  Acceptance

It amuses me to see developers eat some humble pie.

Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

Remember at the end of The Godfather I, where Mike is in the office his father once ruled and his "business associates" started kissing his ring showing allegiance to the new Godfather? I don't know but I see that as what's happening here..in a matter of speaking lol.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

2004 - 2006: Denial
2007: Anger
2008: Compromize
2009: Grief
2010: Acceptance
That's how I see it.



WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

Make grief 2008 and compromise 2009 then it's more accurate.

 

And learn how to spell.

Why didn't he use 2007 - Fad ?

I would have laughed at that one.  I believe that HD diehards just have to accept Wii now and realize Nintendo had a brilliant strategy that was way better than Microsoft and Sony.

Nevermind; didn't read the article.
