Clearly, if the Wii will be successful, their competitors will try to take advantage from the recipe of it success. We see two potential ways:
1. Finalization of functionality of the current proposals – Xbox
In the case of the PlayStation 3, there is even a rough understanding of how Sony can modify the console interface: just remember funny gadget for PS2 called Eye-Toy.
The controller PS3 is lacking with the possibility of an exact location near the screen, so that in functional capabilities to be more or less the same as Wii. To implement such a location they can by using the camcorder Eye-Toy and by processor Cell, one of the strengths of which, in theory, is pattern recognition.
Of course, doing this Sony will not achieve full functional similarity to the Wii, but can in some way to close the “failure” and it may deprive from owners desire to buy not only PS3 as the main console, but Wii.
At Microsoft, business is better and worse simultaneously. Better, because the base price of the Xbox 360, not much different from the basic price of Wii. Worse, because the idea to supply gamepad of Xbox 360 with functionality of wemote and nunchuck are likely to fail.
Thus, Microsoft could put pressure on the Wii on the other hand – by reducing the price of their console. If the Xbox 360 will be cheaper than Wii, even not-gamer will think three times that it is better to buy HD-console with a large play room, and advanced online capabilities or Wii with strange games and uncertain future.
2. A second potential way does not exclude, but complements the first:
If the Wii will be successful, then the probability that Xbox 3 and PlayStation 4 will pick up some terms of this success is equal to 100%. Will it be new wemote-shaped gamepads or cheapness of the console or backward compatibility with a bunch of friends and strangers consoles – does not matter. We should understand what will Nintendo
The problem of innovation lies in the fact that they are unstable. You can not always to live solely through innovations. Sooner or later you will either not be able to come up with anything revolutionary and new, or will make mistake in your assumptions and won?t guess consumer?s desires.
Moreover, innovations in game control were brewing and only the fear of emerging markets research prevented to Sony and Microsoft to follow the path of Nintendo in this generation. But where to go, what can they change in standard game consoles in a five years? Three years ago, a lot of people would answer – “game controllers”, but now? There is no intelligible answer for this question now, so we have to start from the assumption that in the next generation of consoles, there won?t be any significant innovations.
Besides, we still don?t know how big audience Nintendo Wii will get, and how the audience will be loyal to the Japanese company. In other words, even if the Wii will be successful in sales (which are not a fact), the future of Nintendo is still far from rosy.
However, we have got too far into the future. There is no enough information for more or less accurate predictions. And all these are our extensive thoughts.
