Gotcha. That's what I thought you meant. Let me rephrase in case anyone else has trouble with what you were trying to say.

"The system should still have games that appeal to my needs and the needs of the select minority of forumgoers that do not particularly like Nintendo games in the first place."

If you want to talk like a gamer, then go ahead. I don't give a crap about either game myself, and will not buy either. If you want to understand why Nintendo's strategy is a success financially and Microsoft and Sony are nothing more than horrible Sega-like business strategies that happen to have enough money not to go under like Sega did, then get your head out of that, "Nintendo isn't making games for me" mentality and start looking at how many different demographics Nintendo has their icey fist wrapped around. You'll notice a trend.

 

 

I really like the "icy fist" comment.  It definitely conveys how much of a following Nintendo has in certain demographics.

What's wrong with Nintendo's approach?  I have a 360 and a Wii... the 360 for FPS/WRPG games, and the Wii for Wii Fit, party games, Zelda, etc.  I *STILL* believe the Wii not only has it's own demographic, but complements the PS3/360 in many ways.  The people at Nintendo are marketing geniuses in my opinion.
