Think of it this way. Just take the analogy for what it is, and don't compare it side by side to reality.

The Wii is the iPod, and the 360/PS3 are the Zune.

The Zune is every bit as good, if not better, than the iPod, but pick any random person off the street and ask which they'd prefer. iPod. Why? Because it makes them feel cooler, and they probably don't even know what the Zune is.

People won't stop buying the Wii just because the 360/PS3 will get motion controls. I'm pretty dead certain that isn't even the reason in the first place, but my analogy still stands regardless.

Zelda: Twilight Princess is still good enough for Nintendo. I doubt that there will ever be another Zelda until TP stops selling like hotcakes otherwise they're going to just waste their dollars on developing new games just to cater to their fans. Philhellene

I actually like to use my imagination in games, so yah I would discard those ideas.

Realism is not what I want in my fantasy universes.

Gaming PC/DS right here.

How so?

I remember LTTP being epic, and I remember OoT being epic even though both of them are so different in graphics.

Oh, and I beat LTTP AFTER playing OoT.

Graphics are a stupid thing to care that much about.

In return we are seeing more "expand your fitness" and "Mini game plus" selling milllions of copies, while original, creative and games that developers are sweating for are selling poorly and good devs are going out of business. goblaa

Nintendo's not the reason devs are closing their doors. It's because PS3 and 360 development costs are way too high.

Frankly, without the wii, I believe we can see better progession for the gaming market.

What does that even mean? Nintendo EXPANDED the gaming market, bringing in a whole new audience that hadn't been tapped before. In economic terms, that is a WIN. More people=more $$$.

How can you rationally condemn a marketing strategy that has expanded the consumer base?

Just because you're feeling marginalized is no reason to condemn Nintendo.

How amazing would it be if we saw more Oldboy, Pans Labarynth, Distric 9... than Dance flick, Generic disney movie, or generic teen movie.

Or how amazing would it be if we saw more bands like Pink floyd, Queen, Led Zeplin... instead of Lil Wayne and Soulja boy.

If you have a good mind, the video game business if it continues this we will see less Uncharted, Metal Gears, Mass effect, Metroid and more Wii Music, Mini game collection.

Last generation possibly Japan. The FF's, Marios, Zelda's and MGS's were so increadible

This generation is America. Most of my game library is American games, and my pc game ... duh. Itouch games are also american.

I guess it's due to the fact that for me Japanese Developers this generation, haven't really hit with Truley original, unique and epic new I.P's
