Does Nintendo really want war or is there a real threat by Apple?  Nintendo is crazy and probably just pulling our leg.  Yeah their profits dropped, but still one of the best consoles out there.  I think Sony could handle Apple on the gaming alone. Nintendo is just slow because of economy and the flood of other gadgets and devices out there.  Let’s move on to the nitty gritty!

Apple is just all talk, since they are rich and respected. They will have to battle all the tech giants out there and I will bet on Google anyday, in any tech field, not just consumer electronics. Apple is just getting to know the web like it should. Microsoft has lost touch with the web, but gaining ground in recent years, after Yahoo, Bing, and Live upgrades. Apple iPad is a game changing device, but not a representation of the entire market. The device is cheap and goes against their longtime quality streak, didn’t the Mercedes Benz brandname do this and loose with a cheap model and lost marketshare.

I think Google will enter mobile markets well, even though Sprint & Verizon doesn’t want the Nexus ONE. Apple better prepare for HP, and their “LABS” of innovation… even though i havent been impressed with the slate, they still are managed well at times. With Apple starting their own marketplace and trying to monopolize apps & media distribution, they are setting up for failure. They are too cocky and the gamers are programmers as well, who will not allow the entrance in the industry easy.

Nintendo is preparing for war, but shouldn’t be threatened yet, unless they have some secrets we don’t know about. Xbox is coming out with “FLUID” or “Project Natal” …which is like the Wii. I would worry about that as Sony doesn’t have the depth as Nintendo or Microsoft. Sony has quality electronics & tried taking a shot at Microsoft with new Linux supported OS inside consoles. Sony must create new devices, not just upgrade existing ones.

AMAZING XBOX for 2010

Apple will probably do something dumb, like make a console instead of just stick to computers. Can they replace the flash based ones that they’re killing with their marketplace? Microsoft should rebuild their software, OS, but doing a great job entering social media, mobile phones/OS, and keeping steady ground in most their ventures.

Nintendo DSI & 3d will grow and the new black Wii, will be attractive. Mario will always live on, who else is better, old sonic? Nintendo is in position to establish a web community and have the basic interface that kids will learn & enjoy. A land of Mii characters to Netflix movies, there is good changes coming, more than they speak of. And loved a recent article where it said “maybe Nintendo should make a mobile device” lol I don’t think they are ready, but maybe Sony is. Sony was scared when iPod touch launched games, with motion sensors. They probably have a strategy for it. Thanks for reading, I share at elucidmarketing.wordpress.com on a blog from time to time.
