That is kind of the problem. Your average 'core' gamer wants the exact same thing that they have had since 1995, but just with fancier graphics and voice chat so they can tell people how superior they are. This is where Nintendo messed up.

If that were true, everyone would be a pc gamer.

Nintendo messed up more times than I care to keep track of. Going full out on an "innovation" while ignoring the one everyone else is invested in (VR) is just one of them.

You forget they're lazy too, many 'core' gamers can't even get of the couch to change a disc. Where do you suppose they get the energy to build and maintain a gaming pc.

'Core' gamers want fancy graphics first most, if the WiiU was in the same power leage with a 1080p gamepad things might have been different. Of course Nintendo would have had to sell it at a loss, since 'core' gamers don't want to pay a lot either.

Damn 'core' gamers.
