I agree. If every game isn't aimed directly at me and my demographic with laser like focus, I become cranky and often soil myself in rage.

That's not my point.

My point is that I want a hardcore system, I don't care if there are one or two casual titles on it.

It seems we'll get casual systems, with some hardcore games on them. I don't want that! 

I'm not sure what you're angry about. Basically all Nintendo showed was a funny controller and a bunch of PS360 games, so even they are acknowledging that they can't afford to ignore that demo anymore. What exactly is a "hardcore" system? Something with a traditional controller?

I want a system that:

- Has a great focus on core games. All the core players like this system

- Has a good online service

- Looks neat. Preferably black with blue/red colouring. Shouldn't look like something you could find in a young girl's bedroom

- No motion control options. Just a good, solid controller that is easy to use and works well

- Has very good graphics

.....No-one seems to focus on the core anymore the same way that Xbox and PS3 did. Maybe I'm just a idealist, but I don't like the way all the companies are trying to appeal to both, or moreso the casual audience. What I think we need is a company who's target market is solely the core.

- Both 360 and PS3 have good online services, and although Nintendo didn't talk about it I assume Wii U will have a decent online service as well.

- If you care what a console looks like, I don't even know what to say about that.

- As long as a regular controller is still available and supported, not wanting a motion controller to even exist is just childish and dumb.

- 360, PS3, and Wii U all have very good graphics.

It's ridiculous how short people's memories are.  PS2 had, by far, the biggest library of core games ever to exist on a system, and I'd guess that the ratio of core games to casual games was 1:3, if not less.  PS2 was loaded to the gills with casual games, had a huge focus on casual games, and sold such an insane number of units precisely because it offered casual games as well as awesome core games.  Having casual games on your system not only does not automatically mean there will be less core games, it kind of ensures that there will be more core games in the long run because it drives the install base and generates revenue.

I dont think that turned out that way for the WIi


nintendo was trying to come back hard in the console race after the GC throw down..... they capitalised on a new idea and first party games.... and the nintendo world in general..... I mean nintendo is to video game industry what disney is to theme parks.... the most famous world wide by far..... the most likable brand image probably but certainly not for grown ups most of the time.....

nintendo is a gateway to core gaming :P the ninty fans are just kidults who refuses to grow up lol :P (I'm just kidding, I love the ninty world and always have a good time with friends playing the famous titles, smash bros, mario kart, wii sport etc... ) but I'm the kind of guy that buys one system and stick with it.... the wii didn't appeal to me in the way HD consoles did... and there is simply no way I have a sony device in my house lol :P
