Not only did they introduce the Bluetooth wireless controller, but they also entered the gaming console at a much lower price. While their competitors Sony and Microsoft were offering basically the same concepts, designs, and functionality, Nintendo did some great research and looked into a field that no one had experimented with before.
Nintendo did such a great job scouting out their competition and capitalizing on their downfalls. This was an ingenious move since it placed Nintendo in the top selling video game console list from 2006 to 2009, thereby rescuing the declining video game giant from threatening waters. With the rapid technological evolution and ferocious competition, Nintendo’s CEO Satoru Iwata realized that there was a need to target an untamed sector of the population, “Iwata wanted to totally change the market’s perception of the Wii by providing an entirely different video game playing experience that would be less intimidating to casual gamers and to people had not previously played video games” (Gamble and Thomson, 2011, p.369). Moreover, Nintendo deserves recognition for staying “on top of their game” for over a century. This presentation has made me aware of the popularity and market expanse of video games.

In order to remain a strong contender in the industry, Nintendo has set out to widen its target markets instead of competing on the same level as its competitors. While a leader in gaming, Nintendo also has two strong competitors, Microsoft and Sony, which target a completely different set of demographics and concentrate on high technology graphics and skill levels. By being unique in its industry, it set out to market a game to a wide range of customers and demographics, which also resulted in additional impressive global top-selling sales (Gamble and Thomspon, 2011).
