Reggie Fils-Aimé: The Wii Was Nintendo's Response to a "Stagnant" Market

Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé hosted a lecture at Cornell recently where he went over principles the next generation of leaders. In it, he not only lays out the compelling characteristics of a good leader, but he touches on them using real examples from his time at Nintendo, notably around the launch of the Wii.

There was nothing stagnant about the market in 2004-2006

meganick1640d ago

I guess Nintendo determined that the market was stagnant based only on the underperforming Gamecube, meanwhile disregarding PS2’s massive sales.

The Wii sold a ton of unit but damn the software selection was not that great.

CrimsonWing691640d ago

Right and when I was working at GameStop during the Wii there was nothing but stagnant shovel ware filling the Wii rack.

So, what, was the Wii absorbing all the stagnation so the 360 and PS3 could give us great games?

No wii was just outselling both and won that generation

No real gamer believes the Wii won anything.

Wii won fairly. Smash bros brawl. Super mario galaxy games, metroid? It was an amazing console

A stagnant market for Nintendo consoles?

Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.

FinalBoss7d ago

I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.

That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.

A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get

anast7d ago

I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.

shining force.
