Core gamers are apparently buying the Hell out of Resort, MArio Kart Wii, Wii Fit, and New Super mario Bros, then

"Back libraries" in that case refers specifically to backwards compatibility: people who buy the DSi apparently don't care about the lack of GBA capabilities.

And we will advance ideas concisely

 

 

quote me from my first post "core customers (not core gamers mind you)"    im sure many core customers bought those games. however one console and *edit* four games *edit* not a core customer makes. core customers are custoemr who spend money year in and year out, the group the reliably is your most profitable group.  the core customer has been there each generation expanding.true there are ones added who may have jsut bought those games htis gen but if they disapere before buying more next they were never core customers, they were never the people who spent the most money year in and year out. 

 

outside of core customers for microsoft, its bussiness customers, for apple its hardware sales (coputers are still thier biggest money makers), for google its advertisers. true they all have growth and money in other areas, but core customers are what keeps them going in the lean times (if google ever has those, i often wonder if google would collapse if it stopped getting traiffc nessisary to gather the ad revenue to support development of side projects, looking at yahoo it would seem yes but yahoos managment could also be the main reason)

 

"Back libraries" in that case refers specifically to backwards compatibilit, can be defined that way if you want to limit it, but i feel not only does it bring past games to the presnet but offers a future outlet for past IPs persons are familer with, that makes money, most of the time.

 

 "And we will advance ideas concisely,"  only if one does not enjoy expounding upon a given subject, and defining it more.

personally i enjoy reading some rambling, and typing it as well

 

 

*edit* also i played me the hell out of some new super mario brothers. gave my little sister my wii a few years back throughly enojyed going through with her on it, i hope she becomes a core customer.
