Random images! or are they?

First Ramble "Ramble on?"

So my first Ramble: I am a fan as we know, of games and film.
Success... how do we measure the success of a game or film?
What makes a hit? Well, how much it sells? that's probably
a massive proportion of the puzzle. Another might be
whether it receives critical acclaim from reviewers and
another measurable might be how long it echo's in popular
culture. Arnie's quotes from Terminator 2 are still
floating around, though I would say they are definitley
on the downward slide (not a bad effort though, "I'll
be back or asta la vista, baby has been well and truly
done to death for the last 15 yrs)So at it's core it's the
idea... right? because a great movie grabs the viewer and
inspires them. They want more of that world or universe or
want to see more about a character... is this the same for
games? do games have the same traction with their audiences?
I think they do.

If so, does that mean that a great idea is fully translatable
between mediums? and if so, doesn't it then make it more
important to have a great idea for a world or a universe or a
situation rather than just a specific type of game and platform?
Sure you might still want to delineate your target audience
but at the heart of your product, be it a game or film or whatever
you have to have an idea that's compelling (there's a vast amount
of scope in that statement)compelling can mean just about anything
lol So that's my opinion, Great idea's create great IP which in turn
can beanything!film, comics, games, board games etc.

What do you think?
