31. Despite all the product innovation at 3DO, the company failed to envision harnessing network economies. Unlike its competitors, it did not capitalize on the biggest invention of the decade; the internet. Another way of looking at the role of network effects is that although 3DO was getting its liquidity injections, the company’s solvency was not healthy enough for it wait for the internet to play a major part in its growth; the way it did for 3DO’s competitors. Essentially, 3DO’s competitors have leveraged off the social networking aspect and grown their brands stronger through the online/multiplayer aspects of gaming which bring a whole new dimension to the human interaction – emotions. 3DO however, could not use this to its advantage the way it should/would have wanted to. At the time 3DO sought bankruptcy protection, its top competitors besides Sega and Nintendo were EA and Activision Blizzard, both companies with evolving revenue models like online gaming which were essentially changing the rules of engagement in an old industry and therefore redefining the future. my takeaway – Innovation in and of itself is not the key to success. The ability to allocate resources and create unique/uncompromising value for the consumer should be a company’s goal.
