Nintendo, if for no other reason that pissing off "core" gamers is good business. It's really amazing how many people are utterly clueless as to why Nintendo won (hint: it wasn't just the controller, or the price).
Another hint: pissing off "core" gamers was a calculated risk with the bonus of hilarious results. "Core" gamers don't rule anything except Jack and Shit. You're cash cow buying 3 maps at $15 a pop, buying $50 games and putting them in a "backlog" just to finally get around to them when you could have just bought them at $20. The core gamer is a useful tool, but an ever shrinking group and has been for a long, long time.
