Nintendo Will Do Well On Mobile Because That's Where Its Core Audience Is Now, Claims Analyst

No, Nintendo's core audience is still on Nintendo consoles. The casual audience is on phones though. I'm guessing that the core audience will tear their hair out over Nintendo franchises on mobile platforms and keep playing on consoles, core customers won't suddenly dive into a completely different concept on a whim; they would seek something similar, if anything (as in, a different console).

Some handheld customers are bound to have shafted Vita and 3DS for mobile/tablet and simpler gaming though, but to state that Nintendo's "core customers" are now on mobile seems wrong to me.

nintendoes core audience is 12 Million people out of almost 8 billion?

 

wii sold 100 million units.  

seems to meee 90 or so million went to mobile.

They weren't "fans" though. The majority of Wii sales went to people who didn't care or know anything about home console gaming. They were buying it because they wanted to be cool and have the latest buzz gear to show off at parties. They don't have any alliances other than buying the next "I own this thing which makes me cool... please love me" product.
