That apparently did wonders in getting the PS2 to sell over 150+ million. :P
In all seriousness, its funny reading all of these "elitist" and "hardcore gamer" posts. I don't see a problem with what Nintendo are doing. Remember one of Iwata's greatest quotes? Games should be about fun for everyone. What's wrong with having a variety of people playing video games besides the typical gamer? One of my favorite times as a gamer was seeing my family and friends play on the Wii and I've been playing games since I first had the Sega Genesis and the SNES. And most of my family and friends are not necessarily part of the gamer description. So what? It was fun playing games, which is one of my long-time hobbies, with those who usually don't.
And even then, Nintendo still has Smash, Metroid Prime 4, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Yoshi, Octopath Traveler, Monolith Soft's next project, Travis Strikes Back, Wolfenstein 2, Crash Trilogy, Okami, etc. coming to the Switch. So all of this nonsense about Nintendo abandoning core gamers is unwarranted. It was unwarranted back during the Wii/DS days. Those are two of my many favorite consoles. The DS not only had games like Brain Age and Nintendogs, but a plethora of JRPGs, Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and new series that found their niche on DS like Layton and Ace Attorney. Heck, do people forget that Animal Crossing has a solid female fanbase in Japan (and I'm sure in the rest of the world)? Does that series scream "core gamer?"
