Does that change as we get closer to the next-generation console, the Wii U? The market is going to continue to differentiate based on the types of experiences that consumers want. As an example, if I’m the head of a household of a family of four, and my disposable income is $50,000 to $60,000, I’m going to continue to look at the Wii because of the software, and it’s a great entertainment device. For consumers who want to have the latest gadgets and have a higher disposable income, that’s for the Wii U. -- to measure the meaning can make you delay it's time you stopped thinking and wasting the day <cite>neonreap posted [p:1081818] in Nintendo&#...

Wanglicious 04/26/12 7:43:00 PM #30:	...whoa. it's a huge deal that the 3DS is having its digital release launch with NSMB2. that's crazy good news on both the 3DS digital shop AND on the game itself. the Wii U digital download is also a huge deal. didn't see that coming from them, but at least it was more visible than the 3DS one. no real surprise on the last two. i don't get how anyone could think the Wii U is a rushed system there - they showed it briefly at the LAST E3, enough for a prototype version. E3 is seeing the final version. and no price makes sense because that's what September's conference will be fore, along with months of hype and getting people interested in it. this is one of the most planned and public systems we've had in terms of how long we've had to wait until release. a new system being in the public for two years is unheard of. and if the reason it's like that is because they want to keep prices lower and/or because they were revamping their online, then it's great news. -- The King Wang.

The way the digital distribution system works--buy through retailers, retailers decide the price--is new and interesting, though. The 3DS's lack of an account system is a problem. -- "When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it." <cite>ZFS posted [p:1081839] in Nintendo&#...

foolm0ron 04/26/12 8:12:00 PM #42:	From: ninkendo \| #016 Nintendo's plan for Digital Distribution retailers decide the price of games and not nintendo, promoting competition among retails with DD Alright, Nintendo knows what it's doing. They realize that this is the future and they are going balls deep with it. All they need is a strong online network system, which is what I'm really worrying about. But if they nail that and have a Steam-like distribution and marketing system, they will undoubtedly win the next generation as well. Man, just thinking about it, I realized how brilliant this retail thing is. Maybe the best part about this is that Sony/MS will definitely have options for fully digitable games in their consoles. Sony is a given considering they did it with the Vita already, but I dunno about MS.

Wanglicious 04/26/12 8:15:00 PM #44:	better question, Wii U has a built in HDD? i just assume they're going the Sony route with it and doing any 2.5" can work. but yeah, they took the PC model of digital distribution which is smart. the net result for this will be sony and microsoft will be forced to loosen their deathgrip for their next systems too. -- The King Wang.
