And so it continues....the story of the reigning Nintendo dynasty at the top of the Japanese video game realms. With Sony trying to scramble it's modern weapons of HD to it's armies but can't due to "component shortages" and due to blacksmiths charging high prices on them. MS on the other hand, still has to wade out of the shores from it's western galleons...they may have brough the rifles but there's a cliff in front of them even if they do manage to get on shore.

FFS I try to bite my tongue, but you made the same grammatical error 3 times in the same post. Possessive = ITS. No apostrophe. "It's" = "It is" - no exceptions. I know the english language is complex and inconsistent, but please at least try.

I will be interested to see if this book contains Nintendo's actual strategy. ;0) Know anywhere I can purchase it for less?

 

[djtiesto]

Pureauthor - clever post, more entertaining than the usual MC threads.

But yeah, Japan is awesome, for continuing to support NSMB and YIDS... Hopefully some companies start to see this and make more 2D titles.

 

[Rur0ni]

Can't believe I read that.

 

[SouthernDragon]

I demand more from pureauthor. Since retarded posters are scant for now, that post provided all the entertainment they would have. Most excellent.

Wow, the japanese game market is going to hell. Hopefully PS3 manages to reignite the console market over there, it´s very depressing to see DS games dominating the chart.

:lol :lol Oops!

 

[the thoroughbred]

With New Super Mario Bros still in the top 10, Super Paper Mario is going to sell gangbusters.

With weekly sales data, it's odd to see the 360 preparing to sell an even more expensive sku, when it's obvious, especially in Japan, that fun and cheap is selling. It's like both Sony and Microsoft want a dedicated fanbase like Nintendo, and now Nintendo, oddly enough, is trying to go mainsteam.

Yes but keep in mind the market share of the Wii. Only so many ccopies can be sold. Also Wii sports/Play appeal to a more wider demographic, so expect SPM to drop below these two within a few weeks.

It's free. I got a pdf version some time ago.. Don't know where it is now^^

 

[Wyndstryker]

the PDF version is a drastically scaled down version. i downloaded the pdf and its nothing the the actual book. (When do books start at page 76...)

 

[Berserker]

lol, these are beginning to looks the same week in and out. DS domination and Wii sports and Wii play in the top 10.

Nintendo needs to drop the bomb known as Super Paper Mario already. :]

PUREAUTHOR FTMFW.

That was really well written. Excellent read. I love creative analogies. Or whatever you might call that. If you are in the UK, you might've enjoyed reading Edge. It use to have a cool column called "Red Eye". Haven't bought a copy in ages now. I have NeoGaf after all.

i remember the enthusiast press talking about how blue ocean is aversion and that they will stay in a niche.. looks quite different now..

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Sony has unpdated the offical PS3 page... http://www.jp.playstation.com/software/ps3/index.html

Now... this is the best Lineup I've ever seen.

1 game in april
0 games in may
1 game in june (famitsu told us, there will be more)
... an finaly Everybodys Golf 5 in july.

I've been wanting to post this: 1997!

Wow, it's uncanny. BluRay is the new cartridge. 2 instances that contrast the perils of not adapting and progressing too much. Wow.

Oh and a friendly reminder that success is not guaranteed.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Yup, it's '97 all over again.

 

[Saitou]

Yup, it's '97 all over again.

And Einstein said time travel was impossible.

[Oblivion]

Anybody else remember that great thread where those people were coming out of the woodwork to say that NSMB would barely break half a million, maybe, because the Mario series was dead?

That was pretty silly, though I don't think ANY of us would have imagine the obscene sales NSMB would be having now.

 

[P90]

Yup, it's '97 all over again.

But will the PS3 be Sony's N64 or GCN? At least it cleared Virtual Boy.

PSP=Virtual Boy (not in sales, obviously, but in the way "Sony lost", the same way happened with Nintendo)
PS3=N64

N64 and even GCN software actually sold, though. Need to find something else, imo.

 

[Defuser]

PS3 is neither both.Still too early to decide yet....

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

The PSP is nowhere near the Virtual Boy. I would say it's more like the Game Gear. Grabbed a decent market share, but ultimately overwhelmed by a very strong Nintendo.

I look at the PSP more as a "we're human" system. The PS brand was unstoppable until Sony brought out the PSP, which not only has sold far less than the competition, but has pretty much changed their business outlook on their systems for shit (concentrating now on more expensive consoles with tons of non-gaming features).

In that respect I think it's similar to the Virtual Boy.

Blue Ocean PDF > http://ngeist.free.fr/Autres/IDC-Nintendo-Blue-Ocean.pdf

Thats different than the PDF I read. That one is more on how nintendo is using the blue ocean strategy. Doesn't give as much info on the the actual Blue Ocean Strategy though.

The actual book is around 200 pages..

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Nope. 2000, maybe.

The concept on paper sounds lame but your execution was awesome. MORE!

 

[djtiesto]

And this:

Read it a few years ago (November 2004, right before the DS's US release) for a systems engineering class, then had to write a paper on it... my topic? The Game Boy. Man, if I had that assignment today, I'd just cut and paste a few Lapsed posts and submit that as my paper

I miss Lapsed, certainly one of the better posters here, even with his 'hit-n-run' style.

Yoshi deserves those sales. Great game.
