But I think what we're seeing is all these ports have basically zero appeal to non-Nintendo fans. They're fun for hardcore Nintendo fans who haven't played them before to pick up, but the teenager who owns a PS3/360 and primarily plays games on that isn't going to be impressed by franchises that have been on PS3/360 for 6-7 years now finally showing up on the Wii brand.

lol. Next you'll be telling me that xbox has zero appeal to people who don't like microsoft's games or playstation has zero appeal to non-playstation fans. These are for people who want to play the games on nintendo. They aren't aimed at ps3 and 360 owners.

I stick by my statements. Nintendo has stated and implied several times that they are trying to get a more core audience on the Wii U and having games like CoD and AC3 are "checking that box". 

The problem with this philosophy (sorry Reggie) is that no one cares that the Wii U finally got franchises that everyone has been playing on other platforms for like several years already. 

In effect having ports of these games are nice, but they're about as effective as a knife in a gun fight. Would I rather have a knife than nothing at all? Sure? But I'd rather have a gun too, lol. 

That's Nintendo's problem is they have no gun in this fight. 

If they strategy is to appeal to only Nintendo fans ... great. We've seen how that story goes with the GameCube. 

We have also seen how that story goes for the Wii lol. The Wii had CoD so whats your point lol, I guess they went after the core there too lol. The problem with you, is the fact that you cant accept Ninty doesn't give a damn about the core. You just enjoy eating up everything they say lol. They do little things like say they want the core and you take it to heart and wonder why you were burnt later lol. Why was the WiiU first shown off with the same franchises that made the Wii popular? I think you're just in denial.
