They kinda do need that casual (or should I say "Mass Market") money Luckily, Nintendo knows this and have the pieces in place to get it.

Sales are amazing but they have to make sure that the initial interest doesn't wane. PS2, Wii and DS didn't dominate by only appealing to hardcore or core gamers. They had something for everybody.

This whole side discussion kicked off because somebody said "They need a Wii Sports". They do. They need a Wii Sports. They need a Call of Duty. They need a Madden. They need an Animal Crossing. They need a Final Fantasy and Forza. They need a diverse library. The difference between being an N64 level success and being a Wii/DS level success will depend on having software that even people playing on other platforms won't want to skip.

The Switch is passing the first test with flying colors. It had a successful launch. Now I hope it has a successful life. I don't want it to be a flash in the pan.
