| phenom08 said: Nintendo has no image issues they need to fix, their image is fine. The only ones complaining are PS3 and 360 gamers, who contrary to popular belief aren't who they are targeting with the WiiU. They are clearly targeting Nintendo core gamers alongside the expanded audience. Nintendo believes they lost their core to Microsoft and Sony because of the lack third party support. Obviously Nintendo knows they can win them back with another wave of first party games and keep them with the third party support while they pursue the expanded audience. With the help of the major third party companies, Nintendo doesn't have to worry about losing their core to Microsoft and Sony. This is all evident by Nintendo saying all that they have said about pleasing the core first with the 3ds. Pleasing the core to Nintendo is not pleasing hardcore gamers its pleasing Nintendo fans. |
I'd like a link to an interview or a source for this PoV please. Otherwise your guess is as good as mine. Difference is, I have a link and from what I understood, they are aiming the general core. Batman AA and all the 3rd party multiplats they went after is only a sign of that.
To help clarify, my definition of core are gamers that play very regularly and play as a hobby, that take games seriously (it implies older gamers). I'm not considering the millions of frat boys that play COD.
