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.

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

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.
