... let me repeat it so your mind can grasp it: Your link doesn't say otherwise. If you read your own link, you'd see Reggie says something about, "active player who loves Metroid or Zelda". He is talking about getting the kind of core games that Nintendo doesn't make, like GTA, AC, Bioshock or whatever. Active gamers = Core gamers
A quote of Reggie's from an interview: “So we’ll continue to have all the family-friendly fare like Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Brothers U… but in addition, we’re going to have more active gamer content, which was something that was missing from Wii other than from Nintendo’s first party titles. Get it? I didn't contradict Reggie. Active gamers is Nintendo's way of saying core gamers and Nintendo first party games like 3D Mario, Donkey Kong, Smash Bros, Zelda, Metroid are core games. |
But my point wasn't about core games on the WiiU...it's about the lack of core games on the Wii means that they have lost customer retention from core gamers, and therefore lost a large part of the market as these people are now invested in the franchises and online communties of other consoles.
