Well, they said they want the "Core" audience again and that's what they made the Wii U for. Good idea? No. But they seem to think it is. I chose the "maybe" option because that one best fit what I thought.

Nope, they said they wanted both audiences. They noticed they repelled the core audience away with the Wii so they tried to get both audiences with the Wii U audience and tried to expand the market to lure in tablet and cellphone casuals. It was a huge risk and it did not pay off, especially since their graphics will be far behind the competition when the PS4 and 720 (or Infinity) come out. Casuals aren't going to come in droves back to Nintendo and buy a nunchuck already just for a Wii fit U. They only cared about the Nunchuck/Board gimmick. Microsoft is going to get that crowd with the Kinect, because its essentially a step up to the Kinect, so they can relate to it and it will still be the centerpiece of the living room.

Oh you think so? How can you expect the casual audience to buy the wiiU when they have no clue what it is in the first place. I can tell you that, I've showed and let played 8 friends of mine (which 5 of them were girls and they were all casual facebook people), and they all wanted a wiiU after playing it. The wiiU definetly has the potential to be a huge success, they just need to make that casual market what it really is and that it's a wii2 not a wii add-on.
