Have Nintendo picked up any of the hardcore with the 3DS

I hate to pull a President Clinton here, but it depends on what your definition of "hardcore" is. If it means a group of people who spend a lot of time and money playing video games, then yes. If it means people who prefer online multiplayer and games like Halo, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Madden, and Fifa, then probably no.

And if we go by the second definition, the 3DS will probably never win those people over. But another important question is this: in order to be successful, does it even need to?
