Nintendo

Very interesting article by Reggie Fils-Aime, EVP of Sales and Marketing for Nintendo of America about the future of gaming, and how, in his view, gaming is prime for some disruption. It does seem very prescient given the somewhat bored reception the xbox has gotten. Everyone was excited, and the interface is great, but where are the good games? The consensus is people should wait a few months. Hopefully.

Nintendo hopes to disrupt the gaming industry before someone else beats them to it, they seem less concerned with microsoft and playstation than they do with general changes in gaming and society, very smart.

If your business hasn’t yet had to face an upstart like Dell or Southwest or Google, you probably will. The pace of change, in terms of market share, product diversity and shareholder value, is intense.
