Enough of this "core" talk from Nintendo fans.

Blame Wii Fit.....literally this time

Now, now clarify for me, I just wanna make sure, I think you are blaming Wii Fit for the influx of buyers who would purchase games that appeal to value sets which are not congruent with your own, or what some might call "shovelware".

Is that about right, that you're saying Wii owners buy crappy games? Am I on the level, here?

Not that they buy crappy games....just not what we consider "core" games. Then Nintendo has to refocus what games come to their console, so we see more games to the tune of Wii Fit (in terms of appeal), than we do the likes of MadWorld.

Sure, MadWorld is "niche" and Wii Fit appeals to a larger audience, which is why Wii Fit sold a billion and MadWorld didn't. But realizing this, why would Nintendo invest more in "core" games instead of games with larger appeal?

Nintendo doesn't control how many third party core games are made on its system: they are makignn the same games they always have, plus stuff for the mainstream.

Why? Because it's a steady source of income, and it's those buyers that kept them afloat during the Gamecube days. Nintendo knows the value of what loyalty it is possible to buy up.
