Is it a good idea for Nintendo to move away from the casual market?

They are not moving away from the casual market. Have you even seen the WiiU adds lately? Those are aimed at the casual market.

No casuals buy a brand new system at 350$ at launch. Nintendo knows this. Casual doesnt even know what the WiiU is. Nintendo can't possible hop to get the casuals w/o getting some market penetration first. When more ppl buys the system (mainly cores) the casuals will know what the system is and thx to word to mouth they will start buying it.

Then why this people were buying the Wii to inflated prices exceeding the $350 price? I think "casuals" (ugh that word again) know what the WiiU is, they just don't care. Hell, I'm a Nintendo fan and don't care too much right now!

These were 1) Core gamers and 2) Parents who NEEDED the system for their spoiled kids. Wich most of them were ''core gamers'' and when I call kids ''core gamers'' I'm talking about 14year old kids playing CoD who knows what's going on in gaming. And offcaurse this is a figure of speech since these kids were not playing CoD back in 2006 since the franchise was not popular yet but I'm sure you know what I mean.
