Nintendo's (hard)core games outsell 360s/PS3s

For the three-millionth time, what makes a game "core" is for it to have a high learning curve in order to "master" playing it, thus requiring a player to spend high amounts of time playing it in order to be competitive against the game's best players.

So, let's look at Mario Kart Wii and Smash Bros. Some of the highest learning curves in the entire videogaming industry. That would, therefore, make them some of the most "core" titles out there.
