Where is the counter?

In that response, cOrd created some of his own assumptions. He asked if I could do the same with the HD consoles. The answer is no, it's not possible, because many demographics are served equally. To represent it metaphorically, Mario and the other nintendo franchises are to Halo, what fitness games are to racing games, with the exception that HD also dominates JRPG, and third person adventure, and Western RPG, etc. The difference, clearly, is that nintendo's next demographic is not a traditional core, but expanded audience, where the opposite is true of the HD consoles.

 

So your methodology to evaluate the size of the traditional core gamer demographic can't be used for any system other than the Wii. That in itself shows how flawed your hypothesis is.

I accuse you of bending the truth and omitting facts to arrive at the conclusion you desire. Now I could either get myself drawn in a lengthy discussion about your traditional core gamer argument and point out fallacy after fallacy or I could simply point to our back and forth regarding NSMB. I am going to go with the latter, because it saves both of us a lot of time. The example of NSMB shows that you have a clear agenda against Nintendo, their games and their fans which proves my aforementioned accusation correct.

You're going with the latter because you have nothing else.

Oh wait...you'e just been trolling me...

How does this always happen? Man, you're either extremely good at this, or you're just saying it mockingly...fuck.

Oh well, evaluating the other consoles is impossible because a great portion of the gamers are all traditional core. It is easy to do on the wii because there is such a clear disparity between  the demographics. A racing fan on 360 might end up buying lots of the main titles as well. Another spot when you notice the difference on wii is that the games that sell a million or less are so amazingly scattershot, so you can easily see where the informed traditional core make purchases, the uninformed box-art buyers, and the word of mouth buyers (wii fit), 2 out of those 3 aren't traditional core. That proves my case one and for all. No objections. Verdict is guilty. Those are the only 3 demographics. Period.
