I dunno; in 3DS's market mobile gaming is the mainstream, while in the console space, Playstation/Xbox are mainstream. Nintendo's not entirely niche, at least not so far, but I definitely think they've lost a lot of their influence outside their loyalist following. |
I doubt 80 million units of hardware & 400 million units of software is sold just to loyalists. Games like Pokemon, Mario platformers, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart & Smash Bros have mass appeal which allows them to sell 10+ million, games don't sell that well just to loyalists.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
