Clues to Nintendo's Domination
liquidninja | 5:08 PM on 04.23.2008 3 comments



One day I'm on the GameTrailers forums and I see this thread: ”For all those that are clueless about Nintendo's Domination”. I passed on it, half expecting a bunch of Wii defending or at the very best speculative (useless) guesses. Finally when I started to feel the affects of boredom I said, "OK, Why not?” Hoping it might tell me what nintendo's undeniably successful business strategy is. So I open it and there's a link to a article by Sean Malstrom called "Birdmen and the Casual Fallacy". Then, being the open minded person I am, I tried to read it.

Surprisingly enough, it turned out to be a very good article. It was very long read; it took me a couple of hours to finish it but it was worth it. Unsurprisingly, on the same thread I found the article, there were flames from people who either didn't read it or only skimmed through it.


I went to his home page and started looking for other things he wrote. I read all of his articles including his earlier ones from when he wrote for theWiikly. Probably his more enlightening ones talk about the definition of Generation, Hardcore gamers and his experience being a game journalist.

If you're at all interested in the history of video games read some of his articles especially his Wiikly ones. Here's a link to his site:

and to his theWiikly articles:

Birdmen?

Are any of them Attorneys at Law?
