Good post, and I can't really argue with most of what you've said.  Nintendo is fantastic at some things but they're also well behind the curve in others.  From a holistic approach, they would need to improve areas like account management and their online experience besides increasing their investment in other genres if they want to steal away core gamers from Sony and Microsoft.

 

There's a bit of a problem with that, the core gamers probably don't want Nintendo products.

But there are reasons for that, and if there are reasons, then they can potentially do something about it.  Nintendo lost a lot of gamers because they ignored other portions of the market besides platformers.  Now they've said that they want them back.  This discussion is about how they can do that, if they can do that, and if they should even want that.

I don't see why they can't increase the amount of other genres on Nintendo systems, though it won't be easy.  They've been in their own world for such a long time.
