I think he is betting on gamers behaving like gamers, and non gamers to have moved on with their lives. Really what he seems to be saying is this. There are enough die hard loyalists to float this console for a few months, but there isn't going to be a queue forming up behind them. He seems to be betting on us as a community to be vindictive when it comes to Nintendo. Well to be honest gamers can be pretty damn petty. A lot of us will probably be down on Nintendo without knowing what it is they are offering.

Before anyone gets morally outraged about what I am saying. Remember Nintendo turned their backs on core, and hardcore gamers first. Something they themselves have acknowledged. It doesn't seem unreasonable for him to take us at our word. Nintendo as far as a lot of gamers are concerned is a four letter word that starts with the letter S.

It just isn't all that far fetched. We can be real vindictive bastards, and we can hold grudges for years. We are slow to forget, and even slower to forgive. So Nintendo may well end up having to cut prices to deprive us of excuses for why we are going to deprive ourselves.

Interesting question for this community given what happened with the Wii. What argument would you use to get a core or hardcore gamer to buy the new console. If they feel that they were burned on the previous console. It is a serious question, because I thought a lot about it writing this response. I didn't come up with a way for Nintendo to make the case in any way that would work well.

No what they said was that they left the hardcore by the lack of third-party support not by by there games.
