The Wii Zapper — A Step Backward in Innovation?
Much of the success of the Nintendo Wii can be attributed to the fact that the game play appealed to the masses, and this can be owed to the innovative Wii-mote controller. I am in agreement with my good friend N'Gai Croal over at Newsweek, who recently posted on How The Video Game Industry Shot Itself in the Joystick. N'Gai goes on to say that the complexity of the controllers of the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 are so overwhelming that it could drive away casual gamers.
TALKBACK:
In response to CompUSA Sold, With Locations, Assets To Be Closed, Ticket Down, Adam, Northern California: "It is no wonder that CompUSA is going away. I am amazed that they lasted this long! But, as usual, when a company treats their store level employees like dirt this is the result. I wonder how long it will take the MBAs of America to realize this. So while the executives of Comp USA get their 'golden parachutes,' the store level employees (as usual) will get their parachutes resembling the color of dog feces."
In response to Best Buy To Sell Dell PCs, Wise Man: "Grab at anything that floats as you drown..."
In response to Content Industry to Embrace CES, Rick Clancy, Sony corp. communications: "As one of Sony's visionary co-founders, Akio Morita, suggested during a CES keynote speech in the early '90s, I would change the name to Consumer "Entertainment" Show. And it's even more appropriate now given the nature of today's global consumer, industry and CES enviornment. As our current Chief Executive Sir Howard Stringer said during a CES keynote two years ago, great technology with out great content is "rubish," and expensive rubish at that. See you in Vegas."
