Can the Wii change the future of gaming?
It's clear that Sony and Nintendo have taken approaches to this generation which are polar opposites of each other.
Sony has completely embaraced HD (obviously) and their sytem doubles as a Blue-Ray player which is cutting edge for HD media content. Nintendo seems to rebuke the concept of HD, as none of their gamesd will go above 480p, and they only even seemed passively interested with selling their consumers component cables. Sony's machine is the powerhouse of this generation and the pricetag shows it. A pricetag which only the most dedicated and well off gamers are willing to pay. The Wii is being touted as the GC 1.5, and one is left to wonder how much of a step up it even is from the original Xbox. Nintendo seems to also be attempting to appeal to families, and even older folks as this is a common theme in their ads. What I'm getting at is this. If the Wii were to completely trash the Xbox360 and PS3 in sales this generation would we see the videogame industry take a turn with Nintendo's current model as the new direction, or would we still see a "MORE POWER!" approach in the next 5 or so years when the Xboxsphere and PS4 are ready to drop? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
