Does Nintendo suck at making "Core gamer" consoles?

you're a core gamer and you know damn well you would not be happy with switch as your only platform. Anyway i'm bored with this topic but my point was i imagine a core gamer would care about playing the biggest games by the biggest developers with out the games having horrible performance and looking like mud, and since all the online and message boards go crazy for AAA games and they all the hype i thought most core gamers would be bothered but you guys proved me wrong. 

You just gave a definition of core gamer wit playing five hours a week. Most of the people falling in this category don't care about the biggest games, most of them play one game exclusively. Most of them don't care about horrible performance and games looking like mud. And most of them don't frequent online message boards. Online message boards are for a very small minority of gamers, many of them are weirdos that are not actually playing that much but instead spend hours looking at screenshots counting blades of  grass of a scene in a game on different platforms, just to make stupid arguments on said message boards. The majority of players, and yeah especially a group as broad as players playing five hours a week couldn't care less.

 You make a good point. I guess i'm reflecting my thoughts of what a core gamer is, which line up with what the OP is saying and also comparing it to other platforms.
