The core group are the 14% and the casual group are the rest which market do you think is a better market to have? Also axt113 you seem to have skiped my last 2 posts lol |
Considering its 56% of the market, focusing on the 'core' alone will not make you sell the best. Also, consider the fact that no game will ever appeal to 56% of the market.
And considering the next console, Nintendo will most likely try to appeal to both the 'core' and 'casual' gamers at the same time. Just like the PS2 did. Its taking a chance, but since they're coming out before the other next gen systems and have a huge established base with the Wii, they could pull it off.
