Okay we all know Nintendo is the best selling gaming company on the planet so far..but why?
1. Why is the Wii selling better than its technologically advanced peers?
2. Why is the DS and DSi selling better than the PSP?
3. Why does pretty much everything Nintendo does end up being a success?
Answer: Thier Focus, Nintendo focuses on the casual..young gamer (not like Foebus or canana ) they look at the small guys who are just getting thier hand-eye coordination skills.
Why this works
This works because:
1. Parents don't want to spend too much on entertainment for thier little bundles of joy, and the Wiis are priced at around $250 while the PS3 is $400-$500 and the XBOX360 at $200-$400. Next the DS is a smidget cheaper then the PSP...okay the DS is around $120 while the PSP is at $170-$200 depending on where you look. The games for Nintendo consoles are cheaper too, Brand-new Wii games cost $50 while XBOX and PS3 games cost $60. Though the bundles generally cost more.
2. Nintendo's history goes back to the 80's so people know what to expect...now i'm not saying that Megaman and Final Fantasy are the reason Nintendo is the big company here, but that there history is a major advantageoverthose people who grew up playing Gameboy and NES.
3. Innovation is by far the greatest quality that gave Nintendo there success. Who has not wanted actually play sports games by swing your arm for Baseball, Bowling, and Basketball! With WiiMotionplus the innovation that Nintendo brings to the table is more clear than ever. Tiger Woods PGA tour 2010 is the first game to use WiiMotionplus in a game...and Nintendo has promised to use it in all of its games to come.
Wrap-up: All in all, Nintendo is just a smart company...and it's so wonder that both Microsoft and Sony are lowering the price of there consoles andSony is experimenting with there own motion controller (set to release Spring 2010)
