Nintendo has lost the core market this generation

A lot of good arguments and good debate, even though I think its exaggerated somewhat.

Core this core that, I think has been used vaguely from the very beginning.
I prefer the term previous traditional gamer. If, I use that term in the proper context, then Nintendo has indeed lost a chunk, not all, but a chunk of those types of gamers.

I'm okay with that, because just like in everything, this market is changing or daresay evolving.

Nintendo is better positioned in taking advantage in capitalizing that new market. Not even talking about blue ocean this and red ocean that. I'm talking about the video gaming culture. Its changing. The days of playing for 8 hours straight, binge gaming, and completing a 60 hour marathon, is now limited to a few.

Its called video gaming becoming mainstream. Its just the way it is. The more people who get involved, it will inevitably change the landscape.

Of course video gaming is not truly mainstream yet, nor are we truly close to it, but bit by bit its getting there. Of course this is all in my humble opinion.
