After reading the OP I was sure this thread was destined for a ton of back and forth hate. I'm pleasantly surprised the majority of you have choosen to ignore the structure this question attempted to impose on the conversation. The OP, while perhaps unintentionally, is extremely short sighted and aimed to insight conflict. Almost all imposed answers are guided towards one absurd topic, Nintendo being too kiddy/needing mature games/needs to appal to an older crowd. All of those are just one issue of discussion but the OP is treating it like the overall theme as if as if the discussion points were decided as a fact in some previous meeting. The same can be said over the topic of third party support, just one issue.

The repetition in the OP list is so choking to potential conversation that it seems a satire of an attempt for actual debate only to dissolve any remaining hopeful thinking for this thread thanks to the last two list entries. I am pleasantly surprised by the resolve of this community to ignore all but the pertinent question aside from a few mentions of a listed topic for sake of actual relevance. Might I add it thoroughly disappointed the OP.

I've ignored most of the posts like yours this far. I'm going to report you because this has 1) Nothing to do with OP, and 2) Is based on falsehoods and paranoia.

The spirit of this thread is to understand the needs of those who refuse to or regret purchasing Nintendo's last console in an attempt to understand myself what would be the steps Nintendo would need to take in order to succeed in capturing the gamer community at large. The evil you saw in my list was false, because my list is based off the understanding I have of reading a bazillion number of posts on this forum and was a compilation of what I understood to be the major gripes. I wanted to get a sense of where Nintendo needed to focus most in order to succeed. The list is there as a tool to better focus while keeping the compilation simple. Actually my hope was to create a count and have the numbers back for you, but since the participation on using the OP list was abysmal, I'll blame your kind of thinking along with general forum apathy for what I got.

Apart from all that, I am still quite pleased with the responses this far and they help me understand what some of my peers here actually want. Sorry to say, you're not really welcome in this thread.

Reporting me is quite a harsh reaction, though I did let myself go with that post. Though perhaps falsehood, it is not paranoia. An odd direction is in your OP and I feel the lack of participation is testament and that moderators will see where my concern arose from. But really, you must notice that your OP is geared more towards trolling, centered around repeated topics of focus without explanation, whether intentional or not. If the flow of coversation was based on your criteria surely it could have installed some ill arguements. In all honesty, I was expecting this thread to be closed due to baiting and I was surprised that the conversation was steered positively. I suppose I'm not encouraging that since I've revealed what happened. If your OP was not intended in the way I perceived it then I do apologize, but word to the wise, be more careful in the wording of your threads and perhaps opt to use open ended questions rather than definitive lists.

If you don't find me welcome, fine. I won't contribute my analysis of Nintendo's appeal to gamers like myself.
