Nintendo And Sony Gear Up To Fight It
Out Over Handheld Gaming 05/06/2004 12:55 PM
It must be fun to speculate when there's nothing much to go on. Wired News is talking about the upcoming battle between Nintendo and Sony for their next generation handheld gaming systems. The problem is that the details of both systems aren't expected until next week at E3. So, for the time being, we're left with speculation based on the little bits of info they've released and their expected target markets. Many people are already declaring Sony the winner, despite the fact that Nintendo has a lot more experience in this market (98% marketshare right now). The real question is whether or not that's defining the market too narrowly. If you define it as a segment of the overall video gaming market, then obviously Sony has a pretty good track record as well. Also, as the article points out, Sony's plan to go after the young adult market may be a lot more lucrative. Of course, there's a reason that we actually wait until the market speaks before declaring a winner, so idle predictions based on speculation might not be worth much.

Nintendo Copies Sony Who Copied Apple
With Retail Store Plans

Nintendo Copies Sony Who Copied Apple
With Retail Store Plans 04/06/2005 02:16 PM
A year ago, Sony decided to mimic Apple's widespread success with their retail stores by settin g up more retail stores of their own (the company already had a few). Now, it appears that Nintendo seems to think this is a good idea as well, and will be creating a Nintendo store in NY. Of course, it's still questionable how well these stores work for anyone other than Apple. Remember, computer maker Gateway tried the same thing and ended up losin g a ton of money before closing the stores down. It works for Apple for a few reasons: mainly, that the company prefers to sell direct and has been de-emphasizing channel resellers for some time. This isn't true of Sony or Nintendo -- and the stores either upset their resellers greatly, or have to be priced way over the regular going retail price. At the same time, Apple's stores work because of the culture (maybe we should drop that trailing "ure") surrounding Apple products. The stores are designed to play up that culture and the whole concept of the Apple experience. It's not clear many other consumer electronics makers can pull off the same sort of success without the same level of devoted followers.
