| Soundwave said: The notion that a userbase raised largely on Nintendo's syrupy sweet franchise IP would suddenly turn around and buy a hyper violent action game starring a half naked woman who looks like a stripper is kind of silly to be honest. |
I'm going to stop you right there, because you've made multiple fatal errors in logic right here.
First of all, Nintendo's IPs often have much darker tones hiding within them. For a more obvious example, see Majora's Mask... but many others have underlying darkness.
Second of all, fanbases are capable of enjoying a broad variety of games, and Nintendo fans raised on Nintendo IPs are capable of enjoying other styles of games, too. This is especially true when you consider that Nintendo fans grow older, just like everybody else.
Third of all, even if none of the above were true, it is possible for Nintendo consoles to appeal to people other than Nintendo fans.
It's kind of laughable, how people like you will deride Nintendo for not appealing to the kinds of audience that play on Sony and MS systems, and then when Nintendo does so, you mock them for wasting their effort. Make up your mind - should Nintendo be broadening their fanbase, or should they be catering more intensely on the fans they already have?
What's "kind of silly" is coming into a thread about a Nintendo game selling well, purely to mock the idea of the game's existence.
