Nintendo Wii: Facing the Inevitable [View article]
To pile on WriterGuy: or that the iPhone was doomed because it didn't have a itty-bitty keyboard.
I think Bruce has missed the boat. These "toy" games are immensely popular - and graphics aren't the prime motivator, it's what's fun! Just look at the up-and-coming iPhone/iPod Touch game market. Many analysts are saying that the PSP and DS need to take a look over their shoulder or risk getting run over.
And these mobile games are small, not overly rich in the graphics, but cheap and keeping people entertained.
Remember, that was one of the Wii's original market strategies: we're cheaper than the other guys (especially over the PS3!)
I think someone may have forgotten why people play games in the first place...
