| maxnyc said: I never even said Nintendo's e3 conference was a big push with core gamers. What i said was that "Nintendo seemed to want to make a big push with core games & 3rd parties with wii U", i wasn't speaking about e3 specifically. The fact is, Nintendo is releasing a pro controller obviously aimed at core gamers. They are making the hardware powerful enough & the controllers more standard (compared to the wii), to have 3rd parties on board. They are making an online infrastructure which we don't yet know much about, but it seems we will have voice and video chat amongst other things. So you can put your head in the sand and say "i don't see Nintendo making ANY push with core gamers". But that's still just you putting your head in the sand, it doesn't mean that your right in any way, shape or form. |
You seem to be engaged in some goalpost moving here. No one said Nintendo isn't making ANY push for core gamers. You did say they were making a "big" push. If they want to make a big push for core gamers, they need to either moneyhat big exclusives left and right or produce first party games that are appealing to core gamers. Simply saying, "Yeah, we're getting some games, whatever, and here's a controller we made for you, and maybe our online won't suck this time, I dunno, we'll see," isn't going to cut it. A big part of the reason Nintendo is on course to find itself left out in the cold once the PS4/Nextbox launch isn't just because of any technological disparity that will make it more work to put those games on their system, but because they don't seem at all interested in courting core gamers who aren't already Nintendo fans. All the games that were smash hits on the Wii were ones that followed Nintendo's own lead, while the ones that tried to bring "mature content" to the Wii failed pretty miserably. If Nintendo wants to change the existing dynamic, they will have to do it themselves.
