Editorial: Nintendon't Care About Hardcore?

[HappySqurriel]

Its not that Nintendo doesn't care about the "Hardcore" its that their demands can never be met because the "Hardcore" gamers are a small demographic of gamers who have (virtually) unlimited demands ... In order to "Satisfy" the "Hardcore" Nintendo would have to:

• Produce a system that is powerful enough to match the display capabilities of the minority of people who have hardware to have state of the art equipment, and to take a massive loss on the sale of each peice of hardware.
• Produce every one of their major franchises within 18 months of the launch of the system, where they all take full advantage of the hardware regardless of the cost to Nintendo
• Produce dozens of brand new  "Hardcore" franchises within 18 months of the launch of the system, where they all take full advantage of the hardware regardless of the cost to Nintendo
• Not produce a single game which targets anyone who would take away from the pristine image of gamers.
