Wii strategy in a nutshell (or soundbite)

I know it’s not true, but I get the feeling that Reggie was instant messaging some talking points to American McGee during his interview with CVG (which will run in its entirety tomorrow). Here’s a sample: “The only truly next-gen console out there is the Wii. Everything else is just a video card and processor […]

I know it’s not true, but I get the feeling that Reggie was instant messaging some talking points to American McGee during his interview with CVG (which will run in its entirety tomorrow).

Here’s a sample: “The only truly next-gen console out there is the Wii. Everything else is just a video card and processor upgrade […] I sense that Nintendo is going to capture the hearts of gamers while Microsoft and Sony stab each other in the neck for market domination. Nintendo is focused on innovation and games. The other guys are focused on making money.”

I didn’t play Alice, McGee’s claim to fame game, but I’m starting to like this guy already. Better yet, common sense says he’s right.

  1. I had a friend in college who failed two levels of Spanish because he was hooked on Alice…good game.

  2. Very good game. Re: "The other guys are focused on making money."Ninty is tryn' to get pay'd too.

  3. Right… of course… but somehow, with Nintendo you get the feeling they truly enjoy providing an enjoyable and innovating gaming experience. Like that is what they live for.I do believe the next-gen console gaming will be dominated by both the Wii and the 360, though…

  4. "I do believe the next-gen console gaming will be dominated by both the Wii and the 360, though…"Personal note: I think the Playstation brand has much better IP than MS, which makes it all the more ridiculous that Sony is limiting that IP access with a huge price barrier on the PS3.

  5. Well Nintendo has always been about gaming since day one 100 years ago, Sony started with War money during WWII and Microsoft has the biggest money since the Rockefeller Oil years 100 years ago, so MAYBE he speaks some truth about the other guys trying to control another market rather than innovate gaming… Has anyone considered the posibility that NO ONE WILL DOMINATE THE MARKET THIS GENERATION? EVERYTHING SEEMS THAT IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY HARD FIGHT AND SONY WON'T BACKOFF THE LEADERSHIP…
