About the last part of the show guys. That question about Nintendo staying old, that Miyamoto should go, that Yamauchi should die.
1.- I'm south American, then I'm a westerner, The entire world knows how the USA has influence it in all types of markets. So why wouldn't we value (in a global point of view) that a relatively small country (size) still contributes to the world in a meaningful way. We know how good animators they are, we know how good making videogames they are. The also make ok cars and electronics. So let's respect their decisions and their culture. If people feels they are taking bad decisions, if Nintendo disappoints you...you are feel to leave, to grow up. Nintendo has demonstrated that they can create new fans over and over. I am one of them, during college and grad school I didn't play Nintendo at all, I was raised playing the NES and SNES...then I grew up and enjoyed other things in life, and when I missed video games I started playing FPS on PC. It wasn't until the last years of the Wii when I was feeling some nostalgia and bought a used Wii...and man I loved motion controls...I loved playing FPSs with the Wiimote, I was supper happy with the VC too. Nintendo will be fine, it doesn't need a sudden change of company culture.
2.- From the consumer point of view, these are a great years for videogame consumers. The key word is DIVERSITY, and the 3 top console manufacturers are aiming to different consumers. I like that. If the dude who wrote the letter about Miyamoto is disappointed...then buy and stay playing other consoles!...I left Nintendo for some 8 years and came back, happier, richer and willing to spend more money in Nintendo.
3.- Let's don't forget, the entire Nintendo videogame history is filled with cheap old hardware. Every single console they have launched was developed under Gumpei Yokoi moto "sell consoles made with 5+ years old hardware". and they have done well. They OWN the handheld market (they pretty much invented it), and they have up and downs with the consoles. So many successes have reinforced this moto, that they can do ok with old hardware, as long as they squeeze every single bit of power from that machine. And Nintendo still maintains their "Seal of Quality" and the majority of their games. So please Nintendo stay the same. I would be happy with a couple of new IPs (Monolith may help them into this) but keep giving me the old franchises and keep learning and changing at the same slow pace. As long as every new console has better HW than the old ones, they are fine.
P.S: Nintendo is a slow pace company period. MS and Sony are so fast paced in adopted new technologies that their machines are getting closer and closer to PCs...then I can argue why Sony or MS don't go 3rd party and create software for PC?
