@all those disagreeing with Malstrom.

I think Nintendo's decline in sales of their consoles before the Wii partly shows that they were losing Core Customers. It was only when they attracted new customers that they started selling better than their previous consoles.

 

See, I believe their lower sales in the "hardcore" market, is due to the competition showing more boobs, and blood.

 

People are simple. Why bother with a game like Metroid Prime, which will make you think, when you can drive around for hours in GTA banging hookers and then running them over? There's a reason summer blockbuster movies and porn do so well, and it's not for their attention to craft.

Different tastes and preferences. I'd argue that driving over hookers is simple fun just as jumping around in a Mario game is. To be honest, deeper gaming experiences have done a lot better on HD platforms so I don't know where you're getting this idea from.
