Nintendo clearly choose I high-end route this time to satisfy the core gamer, what will ultimately doom the 3DS unless the 3DS Lite can fix the problems the current model has (including price) and release bridge games like 2D Mario (after NSMB Wii 2 is launched of course) and more expanded audience game.

it has nintendogs and cats. its going to sell 30 million copies.

While it is a somewhat good start, this game won't expand the market (unless you're so much of a cat lover and was waiting for the first video-game with cats to appear, haha), because this market has already been unveiled. To further expand the market Nintendo has to make games for people who never played.

Nintendo expanded the market so much I'm not sure you could create many more new genres and do many new things to attract non-gamers. Nintendo already targets children , teens , adults , seniors  both men and women how much more can they do to attract new non-gamers?

I think Nintendo can rely on their current targetted audience to spread the word. Nintendogs Cats may lead to more people buying it this time round as those who bought the DS and its version will now encourage their friends to buy 3DS and the new version.

I think 3D may expand the target audience as well offering something never done before. Many non-Gamers may be attracted to the system especially if Nintendo gets Avatar and Tangled and Guardians and other 3D movies on the 3DS.
