Nice post from DailyTech on the democratization of technology, and what we can learn from the surprising success of the Wii game system. It is easy to forget how many people thought the wildly successful Wii was set to fail:
They want to develop this people-oriented system that anyone could buy and play. They wanted it kid and adult friendly. They wanted to call it something that was part of the family. How about…Wii? Bad idea? While MS and Sony were pushing the fast track, Nintendo took the road less traveled.
Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Words flowed in adrenalin fashion over the systems and the games. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job.
