Microsoft: "We've got the 'core' market in our pocket, so we don't need to worry about them. They'll buy our games regardless, because we're the market leader and have the best hardware. Now we just need to focus on the 'casual' market. By 'broadening our audience' and leading in 'innovation'. Oh, but don't think We're copying Nintendo, cuz Natal targets the core too!"
Yeah okay Microsoft.... You can't point fingers at Nintendo, and then use all their marketing tools and ideas and claim you're targeting the 'core' at the same time.
