The problem with that whole interview with Denise Kaigler is that she seems to think we are insatiable.

But the core is insatiable. The game industry owes its present existence to that fact, because after everyone else left the hobby in the late 1990s the core has had to sustain the industry all by itself. It couldn't do that if it weren't insatiable.

The problem was that the core couldn't keep it up forever on its own, and Nintendo predicted this. Even in this gen the core market is barely able to sustain console-exclusive games; third parties go cross-platform with their core games because it's the only way they can make any money. What Nintendo saw that its competitors did not was that gaming needed to be for everyone again, not just the core, and that is why Nintendo won.
