Because Ninty loyalists and new casual will be turned into core gamer will soon gobbled up the core gamer which supports the HD consoles. This 2 years is only the first step, Nintendo only wants to make MS and SONY and other third parties bleeds money till they make the upper move to upstream the market, thats why I mentioned those titles. Those are core games, not casual like Wii Fit or Wii Music. They made this move first with Zelda TP as a launch title on the Wii. Then they move the market up more with the release of SMG and Metroid Prime 3 and still expanding the audience with Wii Fit. Then they released SSBB another core game and they upstream the online community more with the release of Mario Kart Wii. Then Animal crossing Wii with the use of voice chat, then the october conference, Sin and Punishemt 2 and Punch out Wii. You dont know the plan of Nintendo yet but little by little thay move the downmarket to upmarket.
If you really think Nintendo would let these third parties make million sellers of these HD consoles think again, Ninty wants to make the impression that they only cater to the casuals like Wii Music and Animal crossing to not MS and SONY knew their real plan. To make these "so called casual market" to become core market and move them up onto upmarket. Its happening right now, Wii Music not a million seller shows signs that most casual gamer before arent interested with casual crap anymore. Even with the user's impressions so far its quite good.
And as for the "hardcore" insult, Im not insulting the hardcore its just that thats the stereotype view of the hardcore, not insulting you I know from what you posts you didnt play only shooters and sports games but thats whats people thinks of hardcore. No offense to you, but thats the truth, gamers playing online for hours, only playing shooters like Gears and Halo and playing sports games and graphic whores. YEAH, thats the impression of hardcore is, and thats what Nintendo wants to change in the industry. Too bad 3rd parties still dont get it I mean, do you really think MS and SONY can feed these audience for how long? I dont think so. I know FPS and shooters are good especially on online but too much of the same thing can harm you, and thats whats saturation comes into.
YES... Sooner or later, these types of genre of games will be saturated you cant see it right now but just wait till the course of 2009 and you will know. Like I said, if these types of genre of games are feed into HD console fanbase there'll be a saturation point.
Anyway, I think if third parties cant do what they should supposed to do to not hit the video game industry into a saturation point, it seems Nintendo must just do it themselves. I mean, have you noticed that Mario kart Wii and AC: CF even online wasnt a FPS or a shooter?
