Why Miyamoto is Wrong About Digital Distribution
Slashgamer Writes: "Until the Wii was release to the masses, Nintendo was having a hard time trying to convince the public to accept their consoles into their homes. Sure, the NES and the Super Nintendo were smash hits and the Japanese-based company was riding high, but once the Nintendo 64 hit the marketthat all changed. The first time in the company's history, they were no longer the current sales leader for consoles sold in a particular generation, thanks to the Sony PlayStation. Sony went on to sell 102 million systems worldwide, a record at the time. Nintendo, who released the N64 to compete with the original PlayStation, lagged behind with a little under 33 million sold total, even though it was marketed as a 'more' powerful system.

There was one sole key reason that marked the first time Nintendo would lose a 'console war,' and that was their inability to adapt to a new media."
