8. By saying that the core game numbers in 2002-2003 are comparable to 2007 would be to ignore that the total number of games was smaller in those two years compared to 07 which is why the number of core games are close.

Total 2002 games on the GC in the US: 12

Total 2003 games on the GC in the US: 12

Total 2007 games on the Wii in the US: 17

 

Isn't this the whole point? That Nintendo is still making the same amount of core games? If Nintendo released core games year A is equal to year B in which way are they leaving the core gamers behind?

Nintendo: We need more games for the Wii what shall we do...uhm we just make another sequel of our popular franchises WOW SO SMART NOW WE HAVE FOR SURE 10 CORE GAMES OH MY GOD YOU ARE SMART.

Oh wait I have a great Idea we make a game where Mario plays soccer WOW SO GREAT OH MAN YOU ARE THE BEST

Oh wait we will also make games where he plays tennis, golf, baseball,, plays minigames with his friends

Oh man now we have MORE CORE GAMES THAN on the GC we are so smart.

Oh wait let we make a game to with Wario and some MINIGAMES!! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD YOU DESERVE
A WAGE RISE

....

 

But...but shall we not make new franchises? ..... Oh my god who said that? OH MY GOD YOU ARE SO DUMB!! NEW FRANCHISES DON'T SELL SO MUCH! OH MY GOD YOU ARE A DISHONOUR OF YOUR FAMILY!
GO YOU ARE FIRED COMMIT HARAKIRI FOR THE NAME OF YOUR FAMILY

Aargh.

And so an usual day in Nintendo has passed :).

 But that wasn't what we were discussing was it? We were discussing if Nintendo had abended the core gamer, or more precisly the Nintendo fan. Has they? I mean they are providing just those series we, Nintendo fans, love. Last time they entered the market with Pikmin, what did they get questions about? Ohh will you make a new Mario? Yes Nintendo is feeding us with the old same franchises but you might have missed that it is what we Nintendo fans wants.

Disaster, is the first new franshises this gen (can we count excite truck?), will we get more? Who knows? But you and your friends in the sony camp seems to miss that this is what the hardcore gamers wants, sequals, and it is not only Nintendo. When I have been talking about that Nintendo already won Japan, I used to get that wait for game X. That game X has so far not been a new franshises mostly we are talking about MGS4 and FFXIII, don't get me started on the hype for KZ2. So what is the difference? Nintendo is feading us, the gamecube owners (the nintendos hardcore fans), exactly what we want. Just as the other companies is doing, what is going to save the xbox360 against Wii? GTA4 and Halo 3. Two sequals for two series that got a huge fanbase, so what is the difference?

So what exactly is the meaning of your post that seems to be more of a flame bait than an argument, we hardcore players is buying sequals all the time.

Finaly if you are building your statement that Nintendo isn't developing any new franchises this gen on E3, what exactly is Microsoft doing? Because the showed ONE game that wasn't for 2007 and that was RE5.

If you can make something that isn't a fanboy attack on my statments above I will be very happy, thanks.
