Analysts Strike Again: Nintendo Bad For Gaming

theyre doing quite the opposite! why is this person's opinion being reported

Never, ever ever trust someone who is illiterate enough to publish "highlight this phenomena".

Analist scum.

This is like when you read an article in the mainstream press about a hobby or interest of yours... and you realise that they don't have a f**king clue. Then, realisations dawns... all that other stuff you read, about stuff you are not an expert on - they were talking b******s about that too.

This guy, he's not ashamed to make proclamations about an industry he clearly does not understand. So why would anyone take his investment advice about other markets? He doesn't even know that "phenomena" a plural FFS!

haha, thats the one!

everyone in the industry, that knows games, thinks nintendo is doing a good thing. then harvard lad here looks pondering out of his high rise manhattan apartment one day at all the little ants and decides he'll write an analysis of the games industry. thank god he did, so we can all see whats really happening! i just wish hed researched it some, so it was that much more accurate

Has he ever sat and waited for a Nintendo game to come out?

Analysts are idiots.

Yeah is true, this analyst chap is not really backing up his point.

The lack of vision from most developers and publishers to the Wii, in favour of the more cutting edge PS3, just shows how placing all your eggs in one basket can be to your loss. Not suprising really but this some kind of foresight many tagged the DS with too.

Ubisoft are one of the few who took a chance with Wii, highly commendable when so many just want to board the next graphics train to money land. Despite Red Steel getting slated by many, it still better than the sweet FA from the likes of countless other softcos that haven't bothered with Wii.

What is wrong with these people? Nintendo are doing great things for the industry, and specifically their own image! I can now now safely say I own a Wii, whereas before if I said I had a Cube I would be "slated" instantly!

Yeah, it's bad for third party publishers that make games that suck. All Nintendo does is make some good games, everyone buys em, and everyone else complains. The natural business questions, "How do we take Nintendos pie?" is answered not by saying, "Hey, that's not fair" but rather by making BETTER games than Nintendo! Give me a break all ye whiners. Get out from under your rock and figure out that consumers buy what is fun and good. Look at Square Enix. Everything they make turns to gold also. Is that unfair to other more crappy developers? Come on people.

Couldn't have said it better myself. You heard it yourself, crappy developers. Adapt and improve, or get put out of business by Nintendo, bwahaha!

This analyst said what came to his mind. He should have been more thorough. Nintendo has to make good games because it's their system and they have to keep it alive. If 3rd party publishers make good games, no gamer will not stop himself/herself to buy that game. They are not supporting nintendo as they wanted to support others, so nintendo has to make good games, and that's how bigger slice of the pie goes to nintendo. Hopefully 3rd party publishers will realize that.

these analyst dont know crap 1st they said the ds wasnt gonna hit then they said the wii is just a fad now there saying nintendo is bad for gaming is it nintendos fault for help bringing more gamers into the world of gaming "NO"! nintendo has to create games to keep there console appealing because other 3rd party developers dont even try n focus on the there console instead they focus on the things they think will hit *ps3* 3rd party publishers cant get more of that pie if they focused more truly on the wii after all look at ubisoft there sales increased thanks in part to the wii so it goes to show if they 3rd party developers put in more attention to the games they releases on the wii then it will sale like rain fallin from the sky. so analyst get it right nintendo is a big help for 3rd party publishers its just they have to expand and contrast at the right moments to exceed expections meaning focus on the big and little things of development. then they will see great revenue

Honestly, you lot are as bad as the Mail for seeing only what suits your existing view.

All the chap is saying is that Nintendo's unexpected next-gen popularity has caught publishers flat footed which means that despite growth in the market only Nintendo is in a position to profit. If you're a shareholder in a big publisher you may think that any market growth means opportunity, this note is saying not so.

How could anyone accuss Nintendo of damaging the industry? i would think that expanding the customer base would be a good thing for publishers. Sony has had the market cornered for so long and i would say thats had a positive effect on the industry.... then again, I'm not a market anylst.

nah, he says nintendo are bad for video game publishers, when it is some publisher's own lack of foresight that is the cause of any losses of market share when pertaining to the wii.

Were Nintendo ever good for videogame publishers? ;)
