Then hopefully, since that is their target audience and the entire point of QOL would fail if they didn't.

I'm not really sure what u mean. U think the entire point of QOL is gaming?

His point is that if this crowd only comes for a specific function it won't buy any games, which is the life blood of Nintendo. So no matter how many people would come to Nintendo for that one fitness app it would be ultimately pointless and maybe even a loss on Nintendo's part.

But that doesn't make any sense, QoL is not directly game related so that argument doesn't really hold any weight. QoL is a line of various products focused on things like health, fitness, diet, education. They said they may incorporate gaming in a way but that's not really the goal to make these people gamers.

Things like Wii Fit & Brain Age sold amazing last generation and are now basically dead because people don't want to buy $200-300 gaming devices to be able to use them. Nintendo still wants this crowd but they know they can't use dedicated gaming devices to get them.

So like I said, a standalone device similar to Wii Fit or a tablet with an emphasis on educational software each sold for $50-70 could bring back this crowd to Nintendo.
