Nintendo fans wants quality experiences and they also are very good at doing their research before they invest money on a game. They are'nt easily fooled by marketing hype, bullshit reviews of games that are praised(AC3) but in reality are mediocre. They also have a superior eye for true gaming craftsmanship, and a quick walkthrough of whatever games ep.1 on youtube is a pretty good indication of a games craftsmanship.
So far I only bought a single game for my PS3 this year. That game is Ni No Kuni, a game with superior craftsmanship that rivals Nintendo's best. Games like Uncharted and God of War are just fluff and a waste of time. There. I said it.
