OK, now I get it. To sum it up there are no downmarketing in Ninty's part, only Ninty downstream their core market, which is a loyal fan of Ninty to introduced their new control schemes, and the non gamer follow suit. Then theres bridge games, proven with SSBB and Mario Galaxy, to introduced the new non gamer in the world of video games. So as Mario Kart Wii, which also bridge games for non gamers to enjoy driving games.

Then theres upstreaming not to upstream the downmarket, since there really no downmarket but to upstream the non gamer crowd in gaming. So there are 2 types of market Ninty is catering to, the non gamer which Ninty wants to cater to and their core gamer which is Ninty's loyal fans. So casual gamers and core gamers was really just a moot, theres no casual gamer, only non gamer which first introduced in gaming with Wii Sports and Wii Fit and the core gamers, which is Ninty's loyal fan.

Then theres 2 upmarkets, one is the HD consoles one and one is loyal Ninty fans one, the one HD consoles one isnt Ninty's target but the non gamer crowd and the loyal Ninty's crowd, so with these 2 markets Ninty will make a new market by combining these two markets. OOH I see, I see thanks for clarification.

Not quite, since it didn't take into account the last generations existing gamerbase on non-Nintendo platforms.

3rd parties also is a part of Nintendos plans. Eventually the last generation hits end up on Wii. For example the Resident Evil games and the CoD5. Monster Hunter, Bully, Manhunt...



I can't say about 3rd parties launch schedules, but you need to take into account, that they still are in the middle of their PS360 projects, which needs to be finished. 3rd parties are just slowly starting to move for the Wii and there are not many unannounced 3rd party games that will hit this year. Yet unannounced 3rd party games that hit the Wii this year, are propably WiiWare titles.



@Bored: You didn't take the two Resident Evil games into account when you mentioned MP3. Capcom definately seems to have an idea how Nintendo is moving with its strategy and how to take benefit. RE4 port came just in time to cut the sales of MP3 at launch and REUC cut its christmas market. And making a move in advance did really pay off.
