While the success of the Wii and DS is having a positive effect on the gaming industry, IDC analyst Bill Pidgeon has a warning for lazy publishers.

More Inside “”Nintendo has always had top shelf first party software, and the Nintendo challenge for third party publishers is to produce titles that can compete with Nintendo’s games.”” Although Nintendo is expanding the market, and you can expect to sell a few copies of your game as a result, you must remember that you are competing with Nintendo’s own offerings.
