What will Nintendo do?

Hello,

I am wondering what will Nintendo do now that their "novelty" motion control is happening to the ps3 and 360. We all know that ps3/360 can give you a whole lot more options than the Wii from storage to online gameplay to simply better games.

PS3/360 can put crappy games like carnival games but Nintendo can not put triple A games like GOD3 and MW2(except for Mario galaxy maybe).

Who is still going to buy a Wii?

I know they more than profited this generation, but what is next?

Will they need to release a Wii HD, because Sony and Microsoft has no intention of releasing new hardware any time soon? Who is going to buy it?

Will they make the Wii super cheap and sell it in 3rd world countries, and make it a poor man's ps3?

The PS3 and 360 things are just gimmicks that I doubt many people will buy. The Wii's motion controller is standard. I don't hink Nintendo has much to fear.BubbyJello

^^^^THIS^^^^x10..Although I have not played my Wii in a long long time, its still the console that has revolutionized the motion controles.

Don't expect the wand to fly off the shelves. Natal might do well, but not the wand.

So you are all saying that Sony+Microsoft are not capable of making motion control games that would compete against the Wii?Kingmohd84

ya know before this whole Arc/Natal business people openly mocked motion controls

now it's "what's the potential of motion controls"

personally i still don't care about 'em

Yeah expect when has a non standard control scheme for a console got alot of big 3rd party games, the thing you are forgetting is the wiimote is the standard controller so developers who make games for the wii make it for the wiimote. developers who make games for ps3 will make it for the standard controller that has the bigger user rate. There will only be about a select few 3rd party games and the rest mainly just 1st and 2nd.

They wont even be a threat lol

They'll continue to sell the Wii at a ridiculous pace.

The motion controls for the HD consoles are an alternative control scheme, and an add-on to the system. Wii's motion controls are a fundamental part of the system. Arc and Natal entirely deend on reception and game development.

Nintendo was able to create the reception that the Wii is a game console intended for a broad demographic by appealing to groups that are often ignored by the industry (women/girls and older adults). It was able to do so with the Wii Remote, as well market the Wii outside of the traditional young male demographic.

Can Sony be able to shed the PS3's "macho" image by the Arc? The console has the baggage of being one that is unfriendly to female and older gamers because of the type of games being released, as well as its marketing. Unless the Arc actually appeals to female and older gamers, it will not be a threat to Nintendo and its Wii Remote.

The difference between Nintendo's brand of motion controls and those that will be offered by its competition is that Nintendo already has 100% saturation with its controllers. Microsoft and Sony will have to provide some big incentives for people to purchase their controllers and even then, they still won't have as many people utilizing their controllers as Nintendo.

Even if they release their motion control, then Nintendo Wii will not magically stop selling. Anyways, it already appears that they are taking steps to prepare against this. They are already releasing their big three all in one year, which is an unprecedented action for Nintendo. Not only that, they have made sure that certain titles coveted by owners of the other consoles are only on the Wii such as Xenoblade, The Last Story, Monster Hunter 3, Tales of Graces, and Dragon Quest X (You can tell I have a clear bias in favor of RPG's :P).

So you are all saying that Sony+Microsoft are not capable of making motion control games that would compete against the Wii?Kingmohd84

it seems like nintendo is going to do what i hoped they would. When they were up against Sega, and sega started releasing their new consoles nintendo simply stuck to with the SNES, they concentrated on the software, and thats how they won, while sega started worrying to much about their hardware. even the Small advantage sega had with their consoles quickly became irrelevant when donkey kong country came out.

nintendo already has this generation in their pockets, and now they are releasing their big name games, and thats really all they need to do.

Just a wild guess... 13?

Ya I am sure a lot of people are going to sell their Wii just because Sony straight ripped off Nintendo. Yep everyone is going to run to the console that had to steal Nintendo's ideas.

At least MS is doing something different then nintendo but Sony is just blantanly ripping off Nintendo.

first off, you did it wrong

its "one great game or alot og good games"

secondly, there is more then just SMG on the wii, just like there are other great games on the xbox360 then just halo 3. but none of them are better then SMG score wise.

just saw the thread about reggie saying they werent thinking seriously about a new console yet. if thats true i might actully be right. I personaly cant think of any reason why they should upgrade the wii, i dont consider HD important at all, and i switch between SD and HD all the time. im clearly more interested in what games might come out, Metroid and Zelda clearly are a way in the right direction, even if i wouldnt mind a F-Zero :P

i dont see a game on my 360 that is "simply" better then mario galaxy or zelda tp

with 100 additional dollars to get that stuff

who is going to buy a ps3 with ps move

when they can get a wii with wii sports and wii sports resort a lot cheaper

anything possible but really dont get your hopes up for the shared wii multiplats that yall hated so much but now want and better software, and it has a completely different install base

either way thats not even the point half way is kind of right SMG is like 98% and those other two arent up their in avg in GOW3 is at 94% just expect it to go down from there though as more reviews come in

the only problem of nintendo is hardcore games with wii mote...its very rare to see a game like that

and there are games that are arguably better then galaxy or tp (well not in my taste)

but there are no games that simply blow those games away

your not the only one, most review sites agree that those are among the higest rated this gen, and mario galaxy been the higest one as i mentioned.

of course its purely opinion, but that would make this whole AAA,AA thing pointless too becouse its based on other people opinions
