Nintendo Copies Sony Who Copied Apple

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.

As I’ve said many times before, Open Source is quite a big business. Well, it looks as if Open Source is also pretty darn big in in the retail arena as well. Having their foothold in a store that sells software that sells anything but Microsoft products is certainly a different approach to be sure….

Store Announced 08/30/2004 06:26 AM

Impress Watch took advantage of Apple's offer to members of the press for a sneak preview of the Shinsaibashi store (in Osaka, Japan), and brought back images that remind me of... the Apple store in the mall. Not that it's an entirely bad thing - the mall stores are pretty swanky.

While we're on the topic of things not being bad, Apple's market in Japan certainly isn't either. This two story, 500 square meter Osaka store is the second Apple store in the country. Though the first floor appears to be your common Apple store, a glass staircase will take you to the second floor that features a bar and 25-person seminar room. The store will open to the public on the 28th, so I'm expecting a bunch of people to bum rush the place and help Apple pay for that much square footage in downtown Osaka.

While we're on the subject of Apple stores, the company also announced a third Apple store in Japan at the press event: Nagoya, to open early next year.
