This time last year, before E3 happened, I was still working at an ad agency who had one of the three big consoles as an account and everyone thought that Nintendo had lost their minds. "They called it what?!" It was in no way a contender for the console wars. I, however, had been reading Kotaku and was super hyped about it. I even showed my boyfriend (who also worked at the agency) a clip of people playing with it (chopping salad, air sword-fighting), who said to me, "You know, Kim, that's a commercial every creative wants to do, but the fact of the matter is, the video games don't work like that in real life".
Huh? What?
I tried to explain to him that it did, but at the time it was really difficult for people to understand the concept of the Wii. So instead, I bought the stock (NTODY), and this week my stock has DOUBLED.
Yesterday (my first day in Kotaku training) some of you commenters schooled me in knowledge and, seriously, you can turn that knowledge into cash. Take a look at some of your favorite game developers. Many of you know better than they do about the future of their company.
