The denial in some of you is stronger than that in Miyamoto.


I could drop a gif, but I'm too lazy. 

The explanation you included in your OP is full of it. Why is it there?

I'll get rid of it and replace it.

That's a good lad.


By replace, I mean place it back. Or re-place if you will.

Funny, he didn't even use the word casual.

You can interperet it however you want. 



Nintendo didn't leave the casuals, the casuals left Nintendo when they realized they can pay a couple bucks a pop for their gaming fix on their smartphones rather than $250-$300 on a console and $50-$60 a pop for maybe one or two games a year.

Now Nintendo has no choice but to cater to the most dedicated of its fanbase because that's all they've got left.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Ever notice how the Wii sharply declined at the same point that tablets and touch-screen smartphones became mainstream?

That's why the casuals left Nintendo.
