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.

If they wanted the core gamer back, then why make such weak hardware? The truth is, they tried to get BOTH and by doing so, got neither. I wish them the best of luck, as they're the company of my childhood, but it's not looking good.

Well, to be fair, you can't really blame a company for trying to appeal to everyone.

Frankly, I think the "core" audience is overrated. If someone is a true "hardcore" video game enthusiast, that person will buy the Wii U anyway.

It's the people who are casually interested in video games who matter most. They made the NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, and Wii succeed.
