Games appeal to demographics, be it casual or core and there is nothing wrong with that. Nintendo went after the casual crowd to appeal to a broader demographic and they succeeded in doing that.
"Just dance & wii sports are HEAVY hitters too!"
They sold well and they appeal to people. Just because it's not your thing doesn't mean you should dismiss it out of hand.
"Dude seriously, look at reality & think for...
Sales do matter.
According to VGChartz, the 3DS has sold 20.5 million units while the Vita has only sold 2.9 million. You can claim all you like that the Vita is the core gamer's choice but the numbers don't lie. The 3DS has more mass appeal than the Vita.
Console power isn't important. It's the games that matter, how they perform within those limitations and how best to achieve a game's predetermined goal which is to entertain the user.
Come on guys! Borderlands 2 is just out! It'll take a little while before it appears as an option and it'll most likely be a possibility in the next gen cycle.
@gaminggrump123 Thank you for proving my point! Sales are what keeps companies alive and Sony haven't done nearly as well as Nintendo has in terms of selling hardware. You can bitch and whine about how the Wii isn't for the "hardcore" gamer or whatever you want, but Nintendo knew that the "hardcore" audience weren't interested in their console because of the negative preconception that it's for babies; so they broadened their demographic to include people t...
If you mean Nintendo, you'd be right.
I agree. Why do they not promote the fact that they've upgraded the textures to such amazing heights? Oh right. I forgot. Sex sells.
Check out this video on "sexy" mods.
There is no debate here. The Wii U is built around their tablet controller and the way it can be used in games while the Vita is built around the PS3. That isn't to say that the Vita/PS3 isn't bad or anything like that, but when you see how well the Vita has been performing in the market recently; you begin to wonder just how many people are going to be using the Vita/PS3 combo.
They really need a good holiday season.
I agree with the sentiment DK but times are changing. Game developers have taken an unhealthy interest in mobile gaming like Capcom who are making that Mega Man IOS "social RPG" or Square-Enix's The World Ends With You Solo Remix thing when all I wanted was a sequel to a great game. I don't have a smartphone or anything like that because I've never felt the need to have something that can do a million other things than phone someone, but people really like them. I really...
It really angers me to see LBP not doing as well as it should. It has so much going for it because it's so much fun to play and it's interesting to see all the crazy creations spawned from the community. The thing that has truly let them down (as well as the Vita) is the marketing. You can have the greatest machine or product in the world, but if it has minimal marketing, it will simply not sell. If marketed properly, it really could've been a system seller and it's a damn sha...
"Yeah we treated them poorly, by buying their games that werent on the wii console, but has their sequel exclusive to wiiU?"
Entitlement
noun /enˈtītlmənt/
entitlements, plural
The fact of having a right to something - full entitlement to games and game companies should be offered
- you should be fully aware of your entitlements to every game of your favourite franchise by a particular company on the console of your...
PG and Nintendo would be a good match. Might as well try to reach a new audience when their so-called "fans" treated them so poorly.
Bayonetta 2 wouldn't exist if it weren't for Nintendo. Also, here's a small collection of quotes from fans showing their gratitude for Bayonetta 2 even coming out.

Very telling isn't it?
All I want is the company to survive and continue to make great games. That's all I want.
What makes a game bad? When it fails to set out what it wants to achieve, whether it is a horror game that lacks in atmosphere like Alone in the Dark or whether it is an interesting idea like Amy but poorly executed.
Considering that they took part in the Hillsbourgh coverup, I wouldn't take their opinions seriously at all. Nothing more than a shill for government and big business.
Yes.
You're right. Excessive ignorance on the part of gamers who asked for a sequel to a franchise that was dead and that they apparently love.

Also, Sega are in a heap of financial trouble at this point and they allowed Nintendo to help with the funding of the game. They didn't need to do that but they did which speaks volumes a...
If it went multi-platform, it'd be a decent feather in the cap for Nintendo. I wouldn't like to imagine if GTA V became a Wii-exclusive like Bayonetta 2 though. It's just not worth thinking about when you know how many people will overreact over something like that.
