Splatoon is proof that they realizing that. So is XCX. So is Nintendo going mobile. All examples of Nintendo incrementally moving forward. Nintendo putting a stake in the west is arguably the most important.

So you want Nintendo to waste a lot of money on games that aren't going to make PS/X players jump ship anyway?

I think that 7th gen pretty much proved that there are quite a lot of people that are more than willing to jump ship and have no brand loyalty...I'd say that maybe even majority of gamers have no loyalty, and will go for best offering, whatever that personally means for them.

True, but the issue is that if Nintendo wants this slice of gamers, they're not only going to have to do it, they're going to have to do it better. One studio making one game every 2-3 years is not going to pull them away.

Besides, the way spemanig describes all of this is pretty foreign to Nintendo's software strategy anyway. We rarely see them make games just to "appeal to a market." They have plenty of games that end up that way, but it's not what drives them to tell studios what to do.
