I think "core gamer" and "mature audience" are kind of at odds with each other.

I don't know how a game like Bayonetta 2 is any more mature than a game like The Wonderful 101, apart from their ESRB ratings. If you're a video game fan you should be able to enjoy games from all genres and subject material. As long as the game is well-designed and fun to play, who cares if it's got bullets, breasts, and blood?

That's a good attach rate for ZombiU, the problem is that while the Wii U's userbase expands, ZombiU's sales are likely to die down completely, leaving a poor attach rate and proving nothing.

I guess only time and some other, similar titles will tell though.

Gee, I wonder how they ever got that idea in their heads...

They absolutely can but they have to actually be ambitious towards that goal and not lollygag about it. The seem to be dragging their feet with getting the cosnole to be attractive to core gamers. If they'd allow more ram for games and upped the clockspeed of the console and showed the 3rd parties how serious they are they'd easily get that core image.

It'd be a cheaper but adequate core gamers console with great nitnendo 1st parties. It brings a tear to my eye that Wii U's missing out on Kingdom hearts, MGSV, and FFXV

.... Soo check the petition for just this goal ;)

nah hardcore likes the best graphics consoles and buys the same games every year.

That was incredibly pretentious.

It also doesn't make a lot of sense, as it's entirely possible to like Killzone and Final Fantasy VII.

Sue me.

So they're ready made Nintendo fans, basically. All they need to do is get over liking good graphics.

What an incredibly dumb post.

Nintendo has terrible marketing!!!! Some TV adverts talking up mature games and their free online aspect and E-Shop would be a step in the right direction..... And GTA V MUST happen if they are to portray themselves as mature...
