Wow it just seems like this parson is just like a fanboy that doesnt like nintendo games.

and what did Sony do?

This is just another sign of the disconnect between the techno-freeks and the general public.

It's like the G4 team complaining that Nintendo is holding SMG2 til next year. "The engine is already done," they exclaimed. Nintendo even admits it. The truth is that Nintendo runs itself like a business and knows that releasing two Mario games in the same year does not make good sense because it splits the market. But to techno-freaks, they want it ALL NOW.

That may explain this person -- Sachin Agarwal is the President and CEO of Dawdle.com, an online marketplace for gamers to buy and sell new and used video games, systems, and accessories with other gamers online. Sachin is covering E3 Expo 2009 for The Business Insider.

This would be true if the following conditions were true.

1. the device would be readily available soon after E3

2. killers games are shown for the device.

Even if both devices were released on time by next Spring, it would be almost a year and general consumers are not gonna remember them. Besides, there is no games shown for either devices that would attract the consumers to buy. At least when Wii launched with the "gimmick" control, it has Wii Sports to attract the consumers.

The more likely scenario is both MS and Sony would show the games that utilize the new devices in next year's E3. I think we can go through this all over again by then.

From a business P.O.V. they showed three games that probably will end up in the top 15 top-selling video games of all time: Wii Sports Resort, New Super Mario Wii, and Wii Fit Plus (all three of those games will outsell last gen's top selling game, GTA San Andreas most likely).

They showed Metroid Other M and Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the more core players. What sucked about Nintendo's show was the presentation. The crowd was too nervous (after last year I think there was more relief than joy when a good game was shown) and Cammie is not very good at running these kinds of events.

Besides with SMG2 ... I think the game looks too much like SMG1 right now ... the extra months of development could really give them time to add in some crazier kinds of ideas and levels and really make that baby cook thanks to NSMB Wii. This isn't neccessarily a bit thing in the long run. 

I don't think Nintendo will care, in fact the conference had a real vibe that they were trying to please the core fanbase. If this guy was a fanboy he'd have loved it :P

It is sad that articles like this make me trust the media less and less in regards to news...now how am I going to get reliable news?


I guess my only resource left is Fox News..............................oh, wait....

sigh,

I have now watched more than just one industry of interest to me over the years. Though with sites like VGCharts and the consistent market talk. I can honestly say that over the 3 years of paying attention to the market I can use that knowledge reflectively amongst the years in the numerous industries I like.

I'm not a business man or an analysts. I am an enthusiast. This article and the other are full of BS. They show a consistent lack of insight, knowledge, applied consumer behavior. They do show preference. They are enthusiast but in the vein of not successful business, but in trying encourage a preferred company.

I have looked at the N64 and said that will stomp the PS1, I said that the GC will finally over come the PS2 and XBox, I said that Earth Dawn will take the throne over D&D, I said that Heavy Gear will be bigger than Battle Tech, Jovian Chronicals will be the Americas Gundam, Tribe 8 will be the Apocalypse game. I was wrong. I was consistently wrong. When the Wii came I had my reservations. I wanted to hope that this was machine that would put Nintendo back to number one.

I get it now. I got it about two years ago. A successful product isn't a good product or a better product. A successful product fills the values of the consumer first. If a product doesn't fill the consumers primary values then a different product can take it's place. But if those values are filled then that product CANNOT be detrhoned. No matter how much it's better by. I get that you cannot play the winners game. They set the rules, they will set the rules against you. The only game you need to play is figuring out the consumers not the competitor products.

In such a light of understanding and placing such view of values in retrospects to all industries all games all mistaken "bets" I have made. I can see where I went wrong. I can also see the signs that will point to being right next time.

These articles are written to my old perceived notions of what makes a successful product. Being better, but that has historicly for hundreds if not thousands of years have proven to be consistently wrong.

Windows 1 was not better than Apples first GUI, Apple was designing theirs first. MS got theres out first. It was an inferior product. As much the same is true today. OSX is a better design, but that doesn't matter. Windows is already out. If the big sign saying that I HAVE ALREADY FILLED PEOPLES NEEDS cannot be read since the early days of home computing. What chance to so many article writers really have.

I from the point of an industry view have little respect for the media of either industry. I respect the creators and what they try to do. I don't respect when developers are half assed and whine about their incompetence. Blaming others is a sign of insecurity about your self. It's a redirection tactic. A redirection tactic that does unfortunetly still work.

I have respect for Natal because while it's still copying Nintendo in direction. It's not copying Nintendo in how. They have decided to try the Nintendo path there own way. Sony however is a direct cheapness. I'm glad they are trying to find improvments however.

I was watching E3 coverage on G4tv, what a trashy job they did. The gaming media is completely out of touch with the mainstream public. It is now more than ever ripe for disruption.

we should put together a new Post E3 Wii is Doomed bingo board
