Yes, the Wii wasn't the console that hardcore gamers wanted - and neither were GameCube, obviously, nor N64 - even thu they had the best graphics for their days... Why would WiiU be the hardcore gamers first choice if it doesn't have all the 3rd party games? It's software that sells a system.

 

I would not ever say that Nintendo ever released a console that "hardcore gamers" liked. The first of those type of people only started playing consoles when Xbox came out. Before they only played PC games and dungeons of dragons; and back then instead of "hardcore gamers" they called themselves 1337 D00Ds, and everyone else called them nerds and geeks.

Nintendo and Sony always appealed to standard, regular, gamers before the PS3 - the same type of standard gamer who bought most of the ~250 million Wii and DS systems over the last 6-7 years.
