Shaping up to be a disappointing E3 from MS.

More Forza (I mean seriously, another Forza on top of Forza 4 which isn't even out yet?), more Halo (not even a new one ><), and a bunch of Kinect sequels. MS, ffs, unleash the potential of your first parties to make something other than sequels for the same IPs over and over again, and don't make the same mistake Nintendo made a few years back when they focussed so much on the casual audience that they intermittently totally forgot about their core base.

Define Nintendo's core base. Seriously, there's a reason why we constantly have civil wars over there in the NIntendo forum.

In Microsoft's case it's pretty obvious who their core base is, they don't have a long history after all.

To generalise: The roughly 20-30 million people who will buy a Nintendo home console no matter what - the people who (assuming they're old enough) bought the N64 and the Gamecube and have stuck with Nintendo ever since. The people that buy Zelda, Super Mario, Metroid, Smash Bros. etc.


That would make me part of the crowd, but I liked Nintendo's casual effort. Infact I think the wii did a better job at catering towards my needs over the gamecube. Assuming Zelda does not suck.
