How many days left for Panther?

Looking back at the list of M-C numbers, it's pretty surprising to see both those new Digimon Story games doing far less than the first DS game...I really thought the new duo would be big hitters!
As for English Training, great to see it holding on in the Top 30. Will certainly be interesting to see how strong its follow-up does in the long-term.

I think when our cheesy-man posted panther's analysis for him, he said he had about 5.5 days left. So we should see him sometime tomorrow night if he comes back right away.

Well, I don't know about PantherLotus, but Lapsed elevated trolling to an artform. He was like a Karate master in that respect - he didn't overwhelm with brute force but rather set things up so that his opponents could own themselves. And he tended to aim only at the more notorious anti-Nintendo trolls, especially the ones who had been particularly arrogant or untouchable in the past. The sheer amounts of ownage. It was beautiful to watch.Wiitard said:
He was also well spoken, clear in his posts and employed proper spelling/grammar/paragraphing. If he was indeed a viral marketer, it makes me sad that a poster like Lapsed did not exist in real life.

But sales of next-gen hoop 'n sticks are on the rise.
About the Wii's sucessor (wow, it is quite early to talk about it, isn't it?) I really think that it will go far beyond mere technical update or "Wii HD". They will try to risrupt the market againg because leading position or not, is the only tactic that can work against their competitors. Microsoft can replicate the wiimote, puts high specs and sell the Xbox720 at a lower price than Nintendo's next gen console (keep in mind that Microsoft will produce all the hardware, and that this will cheapen the costs for them A LOT). So I expect Wii 2 to include the wiimote and another crazy thing in the same vein, probably related to augmented reality or something similar.

I really don't think that Lapsed was a viral marketing of anything besides Blue ocean strategy damn he was reiterative.
Still, I really don't know if what he done was exactly trolling, even if it was irritating (for some) and if in the end his conversation topics grew old.
However, seeing how much time he gets quoted in GAF after his banning kinda prooves how ideas are ban-proof.

Seriously? I'm not sure why Nintendo would need to disrupt the market if they end up on top. If they just use cheap technology and maintain what they have, I don't think anything MS or Sony could make would harm Nintendo. Likewise, had the PS3 been a cheap console like the PS2, Sony never would have encountered any trouble due to the built up developer support. Further, I'm not sure if Nintendo ever created anything "crazy" with the Wiimote. It might be different to us but to casuals, it appears to make more sense than the traditional. Whatever Nintendo creates in the future will embrace the casuals further. I'm not sure if a clunky augmented reality system would do that.

He's right though, MS and Sony will most likely end up copying Nintendo next gen if the Wii become s market leader(very likely). The DS is a good example of Nintendo disrupting their own strategies to keep competitors on their toes.
Just throwing it out there, but I could see Nintendo splitting the marketplace by announcing two consoles, Wii CS for the casual/non-game/mainstream audience with specs just good enough, but very, very cheap and Wii HD for bleeding edge, hardcore oriented gaming with integrated online and multimedia capabilities. This effecti8vely cuts off both Microsoft and Sony if they focus on the mainstream since Nintendo already has a grip on that. This is assuming that the Wii is a runaway success, giving Nintendo tons of cash reserves for a more risky endeavor.

I don't. Segmenting the market runs contrary to the whole philosophy of the Blue Ocean strategy and to market disruption. Segmenting the marketplace and going after niches is what companies generally tend to do in response to a saturated market. Blue Ocean tells us to increase the size of the market when this happens. Otherwise, this process ends in a glut of competing and increasingly specialised products fishing the same consumers over and over resulting in price wars and shrinking margins. Companies should say: "DO NOT WANT" to this situation.titiklabingapat said:
No, no, no. They're after the mass market. Thus, I predict that they will keep the current "one hardware configuration fits all" philosophy and go after specialisation by releasing different colours. Just like the car industry. Do you really want me to go all Blue Ocean on you again?

Yeah, I agree with you that it is the most unlikely thing. It's also the same reason why I see Nintendo going for that. It is the most unexpected.
If the Wii gives them gluts, and glut and gluts of cash, I can really see them splurging anhd maximizing profits by giving hardcore gamers(because they still buy a disproportionate number of software and don't mind paying top dollars for hardware) what they want, while keeping the mainstream market going with the other console. Of course, I'm just speculating.

He said Gears of War would not be a sucess...
But he was right about everything else (even me, a lapsed player coming here)
But no worries, i know he is here in some form...
Really? In an important sense it was a failure, relative to prior expectations. It was supposed to be the game that made the masses care about HD. Or at least IF there would be a game this gen to make mainstream really care about HD that was it. That definitely did not seem to have happened.

Of course Nintendo will be copied. I'm not challenging that. I'm just wondering why they would bother disrupting the market again after possibly achieving market dominance. It makes no sense. If Nintendo wins, which is very likely, the Wii2 will probably be nothing earth shattering. I just see a Wii with maybe two cores and 720p support if we happen to be lucky.
I don't see Nintendo doing anything more risky than the Wiimote for the forseeable future. And if risks are to be taken, it won't be to capture the core gamer. Any Nintendo efforts will be meant to reconcile the casual and the hardcore at the expense of the hardcore.

Even if it's difficult to make the games, the Wii is so popular in Japan that they'll just have to do it.

I've uploaded a video to demonstrate it's popularlity. This is from a game show/preview type show where celebrities and stars from new TV shows come to compete and promote their shows. This was one of the games they played. ^^

Well, I don't think it's that big of an issue. I think the issue is that they can't find creative and feasible ways of using the Wii controller's unique aspects but the set up is perfectly suited for a traditional control scheme in my opinion.

I'm just glad that SE is actually trying though with DQS. They could have just settled for a traditional SE rpg, just using the pointer functionality and leave it at that.
It was a partially tongue in cheek post, especially with the "uh oh" part. I don't really think it's a big issue either, it just worried me a bit that it might take longer than expected to see SE Wii games released.
