Core gamers arn't the "mass appeal" you are you referring too, they're the minority.
The truth is that core gamers bought their 360's already, and the wet spots being soaked up now are the Kinect buyers. This would explain the drop in Wii interest too. And its probably also due to residual crossover Ipad / Iphone / Android interest.
Remember that core gamers do not buy consoles under normal conditions, such as for christmas gifts.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
