Impact: DFC intelligence believes that the success of the Wii could result in a renewal for the video game accessory market. A large portion of games will feature custom control mechanisms and this could result in increased sales for peripherals. However, there is also likely to be a flood of companies trying to enter this market. Six years ago there was a major crash in the accessory market as the number of competitors increased dramatically. Furthermore, accessories have become a strong business for Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft and it can be hard to compete with those first-parties.
