Perceptual Marketing Plan

...CHAPTER 4 Focusing Marketing Strategy with Segmentation and Positioning These days Nintendo rides high in the video game world. Its DS handheld game, Wii (pronounced “we”) console, and games with characters like Mario and Zelda sell millions of units. The key to Nintendo’s success comes from meeting the entertainment needs of different groups of customers. Back in the 1980s, Nintendo was a 100-year-old Japanese manufacturer of toys and playing cards.

In the 1990s, its popular handheld system, Game Boy, successfully delivered portable fun to kids. Another group of customers, the “hard-core gamers,” played complex and realistic games requiring consoles with high-speed processors and better graphics, so Nintendo offered them its GameCube console.
