Let me guess - you think the Wii U is targetting "casual gamers", and that most CoD players are "hardcore gamers", right? Pro tip: Most CoD players are more "casual" than your typical Farmville player, and as casual as your typical Just Dance player. Pro tip 2: Nintendo has been pretty clear that they're trying to get *everyone*. Hence Mass Effect 3, hence Ninja Gaiden 3, hence ZombiU. They want to have the definitive console, providing games for everybody. Pro tip 3: "Markets" aren't what you think they are. Perhaps try learning a little bit about business and the differences between demographics, markets, customers, and consumers. It might be enlightening. (hint: Nintendo's real market is actually the third parties). |
Call of Duty doesn't target "casual" gamers, there's nothing casual about Call of Duty. Call of Duty is a "Mainstream" game like GTA, Halo and Madden. Casual games are little non-games that non-gamers play, "Mainstream" games are big franchises that everybody knows about that happen to appeal to many people because of their accessibility.
And why would PS3 or 360 owners give a fuck about Call of Duty on Wii U? What Nintendo is doing with the Wii U is giving Nintendo fans some of the games they missed out on. I doubt they will get next-gen versions of all these franchises you're throwing around. The audience for Call of Duty is on 360 and PS3. "Casual gamers" as you say are not going to go out and buy a new system because it has slightly better rehashes of games they already played.
