Nintendo has learned that they need casuals to stay alive. WiiU just doesnt bring in the same crowd that Wii did.
Expect this to be the last "core first" Nintendo console, because frankly, there aren't enough core to support them anymore. |
Sure there are. At the very minimum there are 20 million, as demonstrated that the GameCube exceeded that number, and that was even before the popularity explosion of the cross-over games like New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing series. Those series have massive appeal to casuals that aren't non-gamers but aren't necessarily active gamers. They're an inbetween.
If 3DS only primarily appeals to hardcore Nintendo fans, then there are at least 27 million of them already and the system is only two years old.

Do not group handheld buyers with console buyers. And 3ds has a dual appeal to casual and core, not primarily core.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
