Hardcore Nintendo gamers never left Nintendo. The Wii U is the most hardcore Nintendo console since the N64 with highly rated titles. The problem is the early adopter fans who generally buy third party don't have Nintendo consoles. Have Nintendo gain those peoples attention and they will get their sales back in some respect.


Zuh?

Wii U is aimed and marketed primarily at kids and the "family" crowd. Look at 95% of its commercials:

PS4 and XBox One are primarily marketed at hardcore/older mainstream gamers.

The difference in marketing alone is massive. No one but Nintendo fans consider the Wii U a "hardcore" console in the sense that the PS4/X1 are. 


You just agreed with my statement when you said this.

"PS4 and XBox One are primarily marketed at hardcore/older mainstream gamers. "

There is no greater market to these groups than third party and Sony and Microsoft in general. ^

The kids and teens want what the adults are buying and the third party are offerig. 

I doubt they wouldn't want Mario, but they want their variety of third party more. The Wii U is the most third party deficient console that Nintendo has ever (and I mean ever) had.
