Dear Reader:
Business Week takes an interesting stance on Mii character creation
Business Week writer Kenji Hall has written a piece that mostly centers around Nintendo’s Mii channel, which offers the player the ability to create tiny avatars which can be used in certain games. He seems to think that Nintendo is trying to emulate the world of gaming on the PC. One excerpt reads…
Why would a console maker such as Nintendo suddenly try to emulate PC games? For starters, console makers worry that blogs, wikis, and other interactive online activities are luring the industry’s traditional audience of 18- to 35-year-olds. As people gain more control over what they do online, they’re likely to get bored with the old closed box, plug-and-play model for game consoles.
An interesting thought…just not sure I agree with it. Click the link below to read the full article. Thanks to Rio for the heads up.
