man, lotta hate in this thread, lol

I like to think every action has a reaction, the 3DS wasnt selling so Nintendo dropped the price.

Just like years ago we stopped buying hardcore games on Nintendo consoles so their reaction was to make a console aimed at a wider audience because sharing the core audience with MS/Sony would have spelt doom for them, hence we got the Wii.

What makes me laugh is people wanting Nintendo to 'go back' to making core consoles, a new Super Nintendo if you will.

IMO they did this and that console was the GameCube. As far as im aware it was a capable console in its day and had a decent amount of 3rd party support, Hitman, Soul Calibur 2, Resi 4 etc are just a few 3rd party games that made it to the system off the top of my head. Yes they're not exclusive but they're the equivilant of todays Assassins Creeds and Bioshocks that Wii gamers are starved of.

Problem was core gamers didnt buy it and Nintendo was forced to go down the road they have just like they were forced to drop the price of the 3DS.

We made Nintendo what they are. Us. The core gamers. We created the Wii just like we forced the 3DS price drop by not buying it.
