Why does it seem that to be accepted by the Nintendo community, you need to be a hard core fan?

He who has the third parties runs the market and Nintendo hasnt had them properly for a very long time. To win a gen they must bank on mass market gimmicks. If they make an ordinary console they are screwed.

Bull Shit. Wii proves that. The other console makers rely on thirds much more, due to the fact that they aren't primarily a games company, and neither first party of M$ or Sony is strong enough to substatially carry a console on their own. Mass market gimmicks, lol. Mass market games like Wii Sports, MK Wii, or Super Mario Bros. for the NES is what causes Nintendo to thrive. When Nintendo makes games like that, with that appeal they win..When they make Gamecube+ games..well just look at the Wii U's sales. The Gamepad is a bigger 'gimmick' than the WiiMote. 

The Wii served a temporary and fleeting market whom has no loyalty to gaming. As I said he who runs the third parties runs the show. Nintendos loyal market has been conditioned not to depend on third parties. I said he who runs third parties runs the show, not who can sustain themselves.

This is like a bull shit sandwhich. Those who cannot sustain themselves without third party support, (ie Sony/Microsoft) are at the will of third parties. Look at Sony's PS3 compared to their PS2. Third party exclusives are going the way of the dinosaur, and thus taking Sony & M$ into console extinction. Third parties are porting their games to tablets, pc's, smartphones etc. And here's the kicker, they are doing all of this and they still can't make $$! M$ and Sony are like Junior PC's and the more they blur the line between console gaming and PC gaming the worse off they will become.

Nintendo's havent been conditioned not to depend on third parties, Third parties have conditioned Nintendo's 'loyal market' to not trust their products. And Nintendo's 'loyal market' isn't all that loyal. Nintendo has such a varied fanbase its hard to lump them all in one group. Some Nintendo fans are more NES/SNES,Wii fans, while others are more partial to Gamecube and N64(and Wii U). Then there are those who are in between the two. If you read Raze's comment, you'd see what I mean; A Wii fan completely turned off from Wii U. There are more of those kinds of fans than you'd be led to believe.
