Nintendo's Early 2005 Strategy

Posted by Zonk on from the what-will-they-do? dept.

Gamespot has an overview of Nintendo's strategy for the next few months. DS sales, female users, and penetration of the older market is up, while DS software sales are down owing to bundled software. The Big N is still trying to decide how much information to share about the Revolution at E3. From the article: "We want to receive some level of evaluation, but releasing too much information is also another issue. We don't have the slightest intention of making a machine that follows the same path as conventional game hardware."

    Bundled software my ass...

    DS sales are going down because there's been all of like 3 games released since the already-weak list of launch titles.

      Yes, and this is really beginning to piss off this Nintendo customer. I RTFA and I couldn't help thinking "What bundled software? Oh, the *demo*?" Yeah, it was great but 20 minutes later you need a game.

      It's been well over a month since I got my DS and I've been dying to buy a game for it, but there are none. I've been thinking of buying Mr. Driller for lack of good stuff. Maybe animal keeper or whatever it's called but it was overpriced.
