[QUOTE="Video_Game_King"][QUOTE="FireEmblem_Man"][QUOTE="Video_Game_King"] I think the "hardcores elitists" believe that expanding the industry is a bad thing and that, altering an Ansem quote, "Hardcore elitism is the gamer's true essence."

If anybody should be mad at expanding the market, then it should be Sony and there playstation brand!!! I don't know why they should be mad at Nintendo for, besides, Peter Moore is also relying on the casual game Madden to boost sales of the xbox360!!!
People have a hard time in the shift of power in the gaming cycle. This is the cycle: things get stale in the gaming community and things don't look good. Then a company comes along and reinvigorates the industry and brings a brand new innovation that video games can't live without (NES with console gaming, PS1 with 3D, Wii with motion sensing). Then comes the second generation, where a new challenger arises (Sega, Microsoft) and the first one in power refines and cements the stuff they brought to the industry (SNES, PS2). Rinse and repeat.
The only reason Sony ever won the fifth gen was because their name brought sales and third party support. Plus they used discs which the Saturn also did. N64 was superior in power, price and innovation (first to use analog stick and rumble). And in my opinion the 64 housed many of the greatest games ever created.
Same here on the N64. However, 3D was definately a larger contribution than the analog stick or rumble. I think we can all agree that that was the next logical progression, just as the Wii's motion sensing is.
