They can get some back, but it will never be like it was in 2006-2008 when no one had ever seen a concept like motion gaming, fitness gaming, a wand controller, etc.
That was also before the tablet/smartphone boom which has quite frankly changed the way people interface with computer entertainment devices period, and by extension changed what people expect from a product to keep their attention. |
With Zombie U and a few other games I actually think the Core gamer will come back before the Casual crowd does. I would love to see what they can do with SPorts REsort 2!

One thing about the core gamer that Nintendo needs to understand that I don't think they really get -- core gamers aren't that wowwed by one title. Yes, ZombiU helps.
But Nintendo needs about 5-6 more ZombiU type exclusives in a concentrated window of 1-2 years to really build credibility in this market space.
It takes a lot of commitment really to build trust with that of gamer, lets see if Nintendo is really committed to it, or going to stick to the usual "well we have 1 or 2 games/year for the hardcore player, that's good enough" formula.

Or just third party support, which appears to be lacking (even though it is better than Wii). Sony lost many exlcuisves this gen and they did alright against microsoft (note I have filtered out first and second part games in this equation as each console has their own).
