Blue ocean strategy revolves around creating new and uncontested markets to circumvent more direct competition. The Wii serviced previously untapped demand and brought new audiences into the console space.
This isn't Nintendo creating a new and uncontested market, they're entering a very active very contested space, with a product they hope will be different enough that it will stand out amongst the swathes of competition.
You can't just say, well it's not wearable, so it's a blue ocean, look at us leapfrogging Apple we're so clever; any more than one can say, well it's a smartbelt not a smartwatch so it's not competing with Pebble. The notion of someone saying, we don't have any competition for what we want to do is generally cringe-worthy. No, you're just not looking hard enough.
Do you have an example of an approach to health devices and software that's not yet serviced by a major successful company?
It also increases efficiency because developers won't get bogged down developing two versions when arguably one will do. For instance the NSMB team would be more free for Pikmin style projects and similarily the Mario Kart team would have more time for Nintendogs style stuff.
I think it could be an engaging idea...question is how long to wait for release. I'd imagine a 2015 launch for the handheld and 2016 for the console with the ability to play all handheld games.
Geez I would buy the crap out of such a console
Are there lots of people that have health issues? Yes
Are there lots of people that have health issues and don't use any products? Yes
Are there people that want to lose weight but are doing nothing about it? Yes
Are there people that want to gain fitness but are doing nothing about it? Yes
Are there people that joined a gym but didn't stick with it? Yes
etc
There's your untapped demand and massive blue ocean that dwarves the videogame market right there.
Hmmm, how about an approach to health devices and software that's really really fun?
Or how about an approach that's easier to use?
Or essentially a videogame console but with a library and input dedicated to health?
Is there currently any central platform that you can use regardless your issue?

Laugh my ass off. Under your series of questions the entire health and fitness market is a giant blue ocean for any product.
Are there people that like food? Yes.
Are there lots of people who don't currently eat Mexican food? Yes.
Blue ocean!
It's called an iPad.
Also, you think that gamification of healthcare apps is a novel concept...? :/
The only difference at this stage one can gather from the vague slides is that it will probably be tethered to a proprietary base station and that it may be targeting an older demographic.

Just think if there's only a $50 price difference.
Like the home console I'm thinking of would only need to be about a half step between WiiU and PS4, maybe close to around One level (slanted a little higher than half step) to play any Vita/WiiU caliber software at 1080p..
I think it's necessary that Nintendo gets the handheld out at $150, and given their home console woes $250 is the top end of it.
While such a unit might make it easier to receive the occasional 3rd party port. I wouldn't bet on them making much of anything for it. Japanese devs might love it though. Getting access to Nintendo's handheld market and being able to simply release them to another home console market.
I mean I can see where shinra is coming from, but I honestly think if Nintendo has any chance of saving their home console business they must pull moves as potentially damning as Wii could have been.
There's always going to be a market for health related products, which could actually be seen as a benefit, but that doesn't mean the market is untapped.
You don't get it. You're thinking in terms of products, but blue ocean isn't about products, it's about customers.
Look at it this way. Sony want the entire world to play their videogames. The red ocean is the people that play their videogames. The blue ocean is the people that don't play their videogames.
In health, the red ocean is the people that use existing health products. The blue ocean is the people that don't use existing health products. That blue ocean is massive.
PS3 -> Wii
iPad -> QOL
Videogames weren't a novel concept. Nor were easy to play videogames. Nor games targeted at casuals and non-gamers. Wii was still a blue ocean product. Similarly the QOL can be a blue ocean product.

What is Tsutaya?
Tsutaya is a major retailer with 1,440 retail stores (612 that sell new games) all across Japan.
What is Comgnet?
Comgnet is the website for the retailer "COMG!" that has 17 retail stores across the Niigata Prefecture in Japan.
Why post these rankings?
They are released three days before Media Create + Famitsu + Dengeki give us nationwide sales, so we get a general indication of how well the games will perform relative to their competition.
How accurate is Tsutaya compared to nationwide retail tracking services?
It's large enough that it gives a very probable indication of future sales rankings, but it's not large enough to be definitive.
How accurate were Tsutaya's rankings last week?

No I'm thinking in terms of market spaces; you're thinking in terms of products, in the sense that if something doesn't exist exactly like it on the market then that means it's an uncontested space. Which is false. The healthcare market is heavily contested, whether that's in the form of an app, a wearable, a portable, a stationary device, services, subscriptions, personal trainers, gyms and memberships; there's plentiful competition constantly emerging to try and vie for "people that don't use a health product".
Your definitions make no sense. GAP wants the whole world to buy their clothes. The red ocean is people who buy their clothes. The blue ocean is people who don't buy their clothes? What?
The Wii was considered a blue ocean product because it created a new market that was previously largely uncontested, from an audience that wasn't being properly served by other vendors. There weren't a myriad of companies looking to offer them interactive entertainment back in 2006. There weren't a myriad companies focused on getting that audience's dollars.
If you were saying the blue ocean is high wealth, older, less tech savvy potential customers it would make more sense, although it's still not really true. But simply saying "the blue ocean is everyone not using a product right now and Nintendo are going to capture them" is nonsensical.

Is Toshin Toshi at 28pt good? It did 40-50% 1st day.
Blue red ocean aside, İ think there is a huge untapped market when it comes to quality of life products. A lot of people do not exersize for various reasons, be it busy schedules or demotivation. A lot of people also do not use smartphones to their fullest potential. İf executed well, Nintendo could make a product that can motivate a lot of people to exersize more, or to monitor their health. İ can imagine them bringing out a health focused console/platform that takes the Wiifit idea to the next level. Something that is exclusively geared toward fitness and health apps with an easy to understand and intuitive interface.
Sorry, there was a mistype. Here's a more correct definition.
Sony wants the world to buy their console games. The red ocean is people who play console games. The blue ocean is people who don't play console games.(non-gamers, lapsed gamers)
In health, the red ocean is the people that use existing health products. The blue ocean is the people that don't use existing health products.
Your definition can also be applied:
The QOL will be considered a blue ocean product because it created a new market that was previously largely uncontested, from an audience that wasn't being properly served by other vendors.
That new market will be created from the blue ocean of people that don't use existing health products. And they don't use them because they're not being properly served by other vendors, whether that's in the form of an app, a wearable, a portable, a stationary device, services, subscriptions, personal trainers, gyms and memberships.
This new market space will be called the non-wearables(assuming Nintendo get all this right).
And yes, people that use existing health products can also be valid customers for this new market space.

Wii Fit U? Wiki say it was released on 1st February (Saturday).

Fixed. Thank you.
And they're also the most likely to even realize that a new QOL product exists. There are tons of health apps, hell nintendo has already done the exercise QOL thing with the wii and even the 3ds to an extent. Most of their consumers will be in a red ocean, with alternative products already within reach. Unless nintendo does something truly beyond the scope of at least my imagination with a nonwearable. Very curious as to what you might think that is.

Vita GE2 has sold 100k more retail only and counting.
When sales for Tropical Freeze come you'll see it makes perfect sense.
The translated Q&A seems to support the possibility I formulated yesterday.
Iwata_"It of course does not mean that we are going to use exactly the same architecture as Wii U, but we are going to create a system that can absorb the Wii U architecture adequately. When this happens, home consoles and handheld devices will no longer be completely different, and they will become like brothers in a family of systems."
Tropical Freeze sales performance will be negatively influenced by WiiUs small userbase, DK3DSs performance isn´t indicative of the general appeal of the IP, for already mentioned reasons, similar sales between TF and DK3DS are possible in my opinion but will be just a coincidence due to WiiUs current market situation.

That's where market research comes in. Nintendo can research the lifestyles of people that don't use health products, what tv programmes they watch, what places they go to etv and look for ways to advertise to them.

That QOL third pillar.
This works both ways and doesn't lead anywhere.
Sales of Donkey Kong Country Returns could be just a coincidence due to Wii's market situation at the moment the game came out.
Tropical Freeze will be judged from its sales and nobody cares if Wii U is the one to blame or not.

Seems a little pessimistic. I think it can crack 250k and maybe even 300 by the end of the year. I don't think it will sell much beyond this year though.
By the way, did the results of last year's full year predictions ever come out?

I was going to say 250k at first too, but cheking the sales of Pikmin 3 the game barely doubled its FW sales 102k/222k in 5 months + holidays, and DKC:TF seems to have even less hype.
Anyway, I can see it doing better too, of course.
I wish Japanese stores would throw some rankings out regarding PS4 (games) preorders.Even anecdotal stuff if need be.
Just looking at Amazon To base how PS4 will perform is not giving us a full picture .
A games success will be judged objectively by its sales numbers/profit.
Taking DKC3ds as indication of how new DKC titles will perform isn´t the most logical thing to do. That´s like looking at FFX/X-2 numbers on PSV/PS3 and expect similar sales for FFXV.
TF sales could be similar to DK3ds for obvious reasons, coincidence due to other factors and not due to DKCs viability as an IP. Talking about DK3ds it´s safe to assume that a new title, instead of the 3 year old port it was, would have sold more last year on 3ds. Which makes it even more obvious how flawed the comparison actually is.
It is, if it is the only platformed of the year...

I'm confused what you mean? There were clearly a ton of other platformers on other consoles, especially if you include Wii U & PC (indies on PC). Or do you mean on PS4?

Oh. Lame.
I don't believe Sony's ever called Knack that. It's just some sardonic tag people have given the game online.
