Editorial: Does a High-Powered Console Fit Nintendo’s Strategy?
When news first began to leak of Nintendo’s next-generation console, currently known as Project Café , an anonymous querent asked me (via Formspring) if I thought the system’s rumored move to high-definition graphics and processing power as good as (or even better than) Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 was indicative of Nintendo giving up on its “Blue Ocean” strategy and admitting that its strategy of catering to a mainstream audience beyond the traditional gamer has been a bust. It’s an interesting question, but it presumes a few things that strike me as fallacies: One, that Nintendo’s current business model is a bust; and two, that Nintendo’s abandoning it.

Japan Sizes Up Quake Damage to Game Industry
Over a month after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami that laid waste to a large swath of northeastern Japan, the nation’s game industry is starting to show signs of going back to normal. Still, the disaster exacted a serious toll on hardware and software makers. Enterbrain, publishers of Famitsu in Japan, estimated the total financial damage so far at 7.33 billion yen, or about $89.1 million — and according to at least one analyst, that figure could go up sharply if console manufacturers like Nintendo and Sony have trouble getting their factories back online
