| theprof00 said: If nintendo catered to the traditional gamers, traditional gamers would buy the system, and would buy traditional games. Nintendo did not cater to traditional gamers early on, and neither did the 3rd parties, so in turn traditional gamers are not so keen on buying the system, and therefore cannot buy the traditional games that come out. People use the sales of mature/hardcore/traditional games to prove several things about Nintendo including, but not limited to: the abandonment of the traditional gamer, non-competition, demographic, and also to portray nintendo as an outsider that we gamers should avoid or distrust. |
Putting the Blame on Nintendo is the most common excuse on why games do not sale, next to the "Nintendo games sell on Nintendo Systems" excuse. Most of the reasons is because the system defies the normal conventions on what the game consoles should be.
The poor sales has been the best evidence of haters because they thing it should not be denied. So the blame on Nintendo instead of the develoeprs themselves is either to feed up the desire for Nintendo to fail, or to avoide the genres to evolve on the system because of fear.
Saying "In Nintendo catered to the Core......." is lame and just shows the lack od analysis many people have. Nintendo looks to expand the market nad have more people to play games. So they have to make games for that expansion as well as games for the core. However, Nintendo cannot do that alone.
