The PS3 and 360 came quite close to killing core gaming this gen with the dev costs of games for their systems. Even with the Wii saving a lot of 3rd parties, the PS3 and 360 have destroyed a handful already and will continue to destroy and shrink many more.
Thanks Nintendo, for stopping the industry from collapsing. Otherwise this may have been the last generation of gaming. Oh, and all you whiny little kids can call Nintendo casual after you beat Punch-Out!! Makes Halo 3 on Legendary look like Imagine Babies. Most of you kids aren't even old enough to know what a difficult game is, and grew up on the pampering of 3D gaming and the casual bloody gorefests that choose style over function.
And for the record, nothing in this industry is more casual than games targeted at teenagers. Play what you enjoy, but don't pretend the crap you like his high art and whatever crap everyone else likes is automatically worse.

MS and Sony still focused and their core games, while Nintendo completely went the other way, it's nice to bring third party into the convo, but i believe he was talking about the comapany itself.
And btw, why is it that 3rd party are still not making the wii their main focus since it their savior, i always wondered about that. It's about time the wii get the main games like they are getting in JAPAN, there is no excuse for it not to happen yet.

Nintendo makes twice as many games as MS and Sony combined, and thus a far larger variety.
Nintendo has released their core franchises far faster than any generation previous. In 2 and a half years they have released Mario Kart, Metroid, Zelda, Mario, Animal Crossing, Punch-Out, Smash Bros, Excite Racing, Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, Battlaion Wars, Wario Land, Mario Baseball, Mario Strikers, and remakes for Donkey Kong, Metroid, and Pikmin. They also published Fatal Frame and have made a Sin & Punishment sequel, one of the most niche core games they have.
On the DS they have Mario, Metroid, Mario Kart, Pokemon, Elite Beat Agents, Professor Layton (yes, they published), Advance Wars, Animal Crossing, ASH, Custom Robo, Band Bros., Jump Stars, Donkey Kong, Etrian Odyssey, Soma Bringer, Fire Emblem, Zelda, Hotel Dusk, Jet Impulse, Kirby, Magical Starsign, Mario & Luigi RPGs, Star Fox, Trace Memory, Yoshi's Island and numerous spinoffs of all the above franchises.
Hah, Nintendo has made more core games for Wii than you own on your PS3 in total. From Nintendo alone! Even if you take away the sports title. On DS they have made more core games than you have in your entire games collection!
If Nintendo doesn't care about the core gamer what's that make Sony and Microsoft?
There is no excuse for this argument anymore. It's silly, childish, and clearly false. Please stop with these stupid topics.
