Top 5 Ways Nintendo Can Win Back Core Gamers

[mike_intellivision]

Well, each company is taking different tacts.

It has been shown that the release of core first-party franchises for the Wii is roughly equal to the release of core first-party franchises on the Gamecube. http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=36090&start=0

And there is also a chart floating around showing that Nintendo made $1B while Sony and Microsoft lost money.

Basically, the core games may seem a bit easy at first, but increase in challenge. They hook in players and make them gamers. Unfortunately, some people think the opening level is the max difficulty.

Also, not every big game being released for the Wii is an FPS. I know it is not that way on the other systems -- it just seems that way from the hype.

So if you like a type of game that is played on another system, that should be your system of choice.

Would I like to see some more games out for the Wii -- yes. Do I think Nintendo has abandoned people -- no. That would be like saying since Microsoft and Sony are touting movies and entertainment that they are abanoning gamers. And no one seems to be saying that.

And the comments on this thread pretty much echo the comments on the original blog -- if anyone went back to read the source material.

PS -- If you check the age of most Nintendo complainers, they are in college. If you check the age of most Nintendo supporters, they are in the real world. Coincidence? I think not.
