Great show again guys. Always good to listen while I'm at work.
I don't get your fourth console reference guys, you need to spell it out for me.
If there are any entrepreneurs reading this…I would totally buy a new retro-style HD console….with buttons….and download-only games to allow for cheaper and less risky development and/or publishing. Cartridges are expensive, brah.
The only reason I don't stick with the older consoles is because…well…I enjoy hype. I love getting excited about new stuff! SNES games have all been published years ago. There is still a good Homebrew community for retro consoles (basically everything up through dreamcast), even with an amazing NES platform recently released, but its just not the same.
I love how you guys have been recently fitting a GBA chime into the beginning of every show. At least I know I'm not the only one obsessed with my ags-101.
Is there room for a fourth console?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: There was never room for even a third console to begin with! As Nintendo's executive pointed out again and again, the Wii was never intended to compete with the 360 or the PS3, and consumers agreed: the rarest gaming gadget combination among players has to be owing a Wii, a 360, AND a PS3! Usually, if you have two gaming gadgets plugged to your TV, they are a Wii and one of the two HD consoles. Wii U will have to compete in a tough market, where most people already own one type of HD console and have little desire or time to buy and play with another one.
Wii U will sell better among consumers who currently only have a Wii, or among that rarest of species: the consumer that doesn't own ANY gaming gadget and now wants to for some reason…
