In an interview from DICE with GameSpy, Nintendo vice president Perrin Kaplan points out that nobody was shot while waiting in line for the Wii, and posits that this might be an indication that Nintendo is moving in the right direction, unlike some other consoles:
I agree that Nintendo and Sony are pursuing two different audiences, but I somehow doubt that Sony is actively going after this specific audience; that somewhere on an internal marketing
memo the words "violent criminals" appear. I don't think you want to aggressively court the kind of buyer whose consumer habits generally consist of stealing product at gunpoint.
Also, people are still lining up for Wii every weekend, so there's still a chance somebody will get capped. And won't that turn your blue ocean red.
