What? I seriously don't undertand how someone could think that those two things are the same.

So, let me get this straight. If xenoblade was a third party game and was released on the wii, made an audience over the years and then Sony paid them to make a sequel available only on ps3, you'd be fine with that? How many people buy (or can afford/justify the purchase of) a second console just for one game? It's kind of ridiculous to make a sequel in a new consloe and expect your audience to buy a new console for that game alone. Not blaming sega or ninty, just pointing out that this has nothing to do with install base or people being cry babies. If Wonderfull 102 is released on ps4/xbone and not on wiiu, ninty fans would have every right to complain. What if it becomes an xbone exclusive and you already have a wiiu and a ps4. Do you get yet another console for one game? 

That hasn't always been true. Back in the 80s or 90s "hardcore" and "casual" had totally different meanings when it came to gaming. "Hardcore" merely meant that gaming was something you spent a lot of time doing, where as a "casual gamer" was someone who only played games once in awhile. There was a period of time in the early 2000s when I just didn't have the time or money to invest in gaming as much, and my interest just kind of dropped off a bit in that GC/PS2 generation, where I actually considered myself more of a "casual gamer", because I didn't play as much as I used to as a kid or teen. And that was years before this new definition of "casual gamer" popped up with the advent or the DS and Wii.

To me, personally, the new definitions are rather silly. There is nothing all that "hardcore" about preferring games that are harder, and someone shouldn't be labeled "casual" inferring that they're not a "real gamer". That's a childish mentality, to me.

Theres nothing hardcore about wanting to play games that are harder? Do me a favor and ask twenty non-gamers if they want to play a hard game. After they tell you "No" because of "X,Y,Z". Now ask them if they want to play the Wii. Its easy if you're social enough to understand it.

Eh, at this point no one could give a damn about the franchise. The people that do have a damn with it will just move on like nothing happened so they should probably just let nintendo have another irrelevant franchise. 

yeah, nintendo has so many irrelevant franchises that everyone wants to play them.

Which is indicated by the stellar success of the Wii U and 3D World.

it is indicated by the number of sony/ms fanboys that want nintendo to go third party solely to play their games.

try much harder next time, this wasn't even a contest.

bolded:bad try. the option to pay for exclusivity was only open because the game was cancelled. fans should celebrate. that's very different than a game skipping a console for no reason whatsoever.

bolded 2: people can dislike it but if the game wouldn't exist otherwise, it must be accepted.

What does that have to do with anything I said? Not sure if language barrier or something else, but seriously you completely ignored my point and repeated what has been said hundreds of times so far. I'm aware of that. That was not my point. 

To quote you "Try harder next time".

(not a nice attitude, now is it?)
