"core fans" is the optimal phrase in the title. 

Yes, but I'm saying a lot of core fans left, and those core fans mattered, and most of the ones that are left and pretending they don't care about graphics are lying. They care.

And ultimately, more will leave if Nintendo doesn't meet them half way.

How exactly do you know "a lot of their core fans left"? Plenty of people could have owned a gamecube because it was cheap and had a few games that were interesting to them. I wouldn't call these people core fans. Plus Nintendo was losing fans before this.

Also, caring and not caring are not some binary. If many core fans stayed for the Wii and Wii U I can't see why they wouldn't stay for the NX if it were only as powerful as the PS4. Nintendo fans are fans because they like Nintendo's games. I personally am primarily a PC gamer these days, but I still bought a Wii U and 3DS because Nintendo games entice me, even if I have to see aliasing while I play them.
