| Soriku said: Nintendo WON'T tell Monolith to make their games "easier" to appeal to the casuals. Nintendo bought Monolith Soft for their talent, after all. Nintendo have their own section for the hardcores. Nintendo want to go after the casuals because they want to expand the market so the casuals become hardcore. So there are more gamers (which leads to more sales). If you don't expand, then you're only getting a small fraction of sales you could have gotten with more people playing games. This is a smart strategy. Nintendo are smart enough to know they can't alienate hardcore gamers. Even if they are a small piece of the whole pie, they are sitll an important piece. |
That is what i have always thought, in fact, i wasn't a gamer in the last gen, but now, i play games like RE4,Metroid , Mario, etc.
