Japanese analysts comment on next-gen console war
Gamespot quotes an article in Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu which cites analysts from Credit Suisse´s Tokyo branch and the Daiwa Institute of Research, as well as an independent analyst, on the next-generation console wars.

Daiwa Institute of Research senior analyst Eiji Maeda predicts the PlayStation 3 will be released in Japan between April and June, but the console will not have much of a third-party lineup until summer or fall. Credit Suisse First Boston analyst Jay Defibaugh (who's currently working in Credit Suisse's Tokyo branch) predicts a similar release period for the PS3, sometime between May and June.

While Sony still has its PS3 launch set for spring, the analysts predict that the console will come out a bit later since the console's games are behind in development. The PS3 is reportedly difficult to develop for, and while there are 71 developers currently working on 102 games, only eight titles have been announced for release in 2006, with just two slated for spring.

Daiwa's Maeda predicts the PS3 is likely to hold the top share in the next-generation console war, but he cites the lack of launch titles as one of the factors that may affect its sales in 2006. Maeda also says the PS3's Blu-ray drive isn't as strong a sales point as the PlayStation 2's DVD drive. Back in 2000, consumers were drawn to the PS2 because it was also a DVD player, eliminating the need to buy a then-expensive stand-alone player. Another point cited by Maeda is the system's price. Maeda predicts that the PS3 will be priced in the 40,000 yen range ($343) at the lowest, while Nintendo's Revolution will be 30,000 yen ($257) at its highest. He also believes that by the time the PS3 comes out, Microsoft will likely have dropped its price on the Xbox 360.

With regard to the Revolution, Famitsu turns to IT journalist Hiroshige Gotoh. Gotoh believes the Revolution has the possibility of succeeding in the next-generation game war because of its innovation and its unique controller. He explained that the console's uniqueness could still match up against machines with higher specs, much like the way the DS has been outselling the PSP.

So when will the Revolution come out? Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently told Sankei Journal that his company will need to release the console by Thanksgiving in America to take advantage of the busy shopping season. However, Maeda predicts that the Revolution could come out in Japan as early as June. Maeda also said that the machine would still have a larger launch lineup than the PS3, even if it's released that soon.

Credit Suisse's Defibaugh commented that the Xbox 360's sales in Japan were predicted to be low, but its actual performance was even lower. He thinks that the Japanese market will be dominated by the PS3 if the Xbox 360 continues to see sluggish sales in the country.

Daiwa's Maeda says that Microsoft isn't out of the race yet; the company had released its console half a year before its competitors, which gives it an upper hand in mass production and cost cutting.

Defibaugh and Maeda both think the PlayStation 3 will have half of the market in the worldwide next-generation console war by the end of 2006, followed by the Xbox 360 at 30 percent, and the Revolution at 20 percent.

Markets have been looking more favourably upon Nintendo in recent months. I invested a small amount in Nintendo shares just before the controller was revealed at TGS and I have made a profit of around 30% on that. Nintendo shares (at the ´Deutsche Börse´ in Frankfurt) have jumped from just below €90 to around €115 since then

wobei ich immernoch nich so ganz genaue vorstellungen davon hab was "Interface" nun alles umfasst.

Genau aus diesem Grund spricht Nintendo viel lieber über Innovationen und GamePlay anstatt um den eigentlichen Sinn, nämlich das Interface weiterzuentwickeln.

Das Interface ist die Verbindung zwischen dem Spielsystem (TV, Konsole, Controller, Musik, Grafiken, usw.) und dem Spieler.
Der Spieler gibt Informationen an das Spielsystem (z.B. durch einen Tastendruck) und das System kann darauf reagieren (z.B. durch eine Animation). All das beinhaltet das Interface.
 
Dumme Englische Worte halt..

Benutzerschnittstelle. Die Schnittstelle, über welche der Benutzer mit dem Gerät/Spiel einteragiert/kommuniziert.

Nintendo unveils new Euro marketing boss
14:30, Jan 31st by Ben Parfitt
Laurent Fischer was today confirmed as Nintendo’s new European marketing boss, filling the role vacated by Jim Merrick late last year.
Fischer assumes the role of senior marketing director for Europe, moving on from his previous position as marketing director for Nintendo France. Meanwhile, Achim Schmauss jumps on board as the new European brand manager.

Fischer (pictured), who will be responsible for planning and co-ordinating the European marketing for all of Nintendo’s products, oversaw the launch of Game Boy Colour, Game Boy Advance and GBA SP in his previous job.

“Nintendo is moving into a very exciting and innovative time as we expand the definition of gaming and broaden the population of video games players,” Fischer commented. “I am looking forward to the new challenge of working for Nintendo at a European level in this particularly significant period.”

In addition, Nintendo reconfirmed its position that Revolution is set for a worldwide roll-out in 2006, adding that Schmauss will be responsible for the pan-European marketing activities for the next-generation home console “which launches in 2006”.

Also on Schmauss’ remit is overseeing the release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, still due for a release on GameCube.
