. You keep on going about how Nintendo should have made more Wii-Fit and more Sports Resorts for the 'casual' market. Alot of these people picked up the Wii for a couple of games and because of its popularity and then left it when the fun died down for them. They got their experience and they weren't interest in anymore. Some others probably got into gaming a bit and started looking for new experiences.
The core market is much more sustainable than the casual market because alot of them don't stick aroung for long.
The core market should be of interest to Nintendo because these are the people who buy many games a year, which is alot of money for gaming companies. That's why I think a big part of their strategy was to turn these new gamers into core gamers and get them more interested in gaming. Since their first console would have been the Wii, they are more likely to stick with Nintendo.

Do you really think core gamers stick around? Something that I really hate the cores for is for their continued betrayal of Nintendo. SNES, N64, GC... they were all core consoles and they had continued declining sales. N64, in particular, did everything that fans wanted, but was subject to an enormous decline. Not saying that casual gamers won't betray Nintendo, but at least they haven't proven themselves to be traitors yet, unlike core gamers.

I hope I'm not the only one who finds this post deeply disturbing.
