90% of games on PS/XB are aimed directly at teenage/adult males. There are a number of demographics not being catered to on consoles and that's something Nintendo should try tapping into again. And don't give the bullshit excuse that kids, females & families are forever trapped on mobile because that's not how it works, if a product is appealing to these demographics than they will purchase it.

You have said it multiple times that the "casual" market is fickle and purchases whatever is the hot, new hyped up product. If that's true than there is nothing stopping these people from also playing games on non-mobile devices if such a device is appealing to them.

 

Unfortunately that IS how the market works. Casual market is largely being served by mobile. Nintendo fans need to face the reality here ... mobile is not some small little sheepish compeitior that can be easily pushed aside. It's arguably snowballed into a monster that's the biggest force in gaming today. More people play free mobile games on a daily basis than likely Sony + MS + Nintendo devices combined. I don't personally like app games, you probably don't, but lets also not be naive to what's actually happening here. 

If Nintendo's R&D has some magic new controller that they've *product tested* (with real human beings) that is elicting the same response the Wiimote did 10 years ago ... then *GREAT*. I agree with. All your problems are solved Nintendo, ride that controller like a porn star rides a ... well .... uh ... you get the point. 

 

I never said they have to beat mobile, I said if they make a device that appeals to demographics such as children, women, families than it can coexist with mobile. Get the "im not successful unless I win" mentality out of ur head because Nintendo does not need to beat mobile and it doesn't need to beat other consoles to be a success, Nintendo just needs to be profitable while offering up a large enough install base for their IP to sell strong numbers on.

And again stop with the "only way to get kids, females, families to buy our device is if we offer a magical new controller" bullshit because Wii's success is tied to a number of reasons combined, it wasn't one simple reason why it succeeded just like Wii U didn't fail because of one single reason. Like I said, Wii Remote was a major factor for Wii's success but without the combination of the other factors than the Wii Remote wouldn't have done shit for Nintendo.
