Yes; Nintendo has done as much as possible to ensure that the Wii would succeed. In the face of analysts predicting doom and gloom, Nintendo had overcome through its genius business strategy of appealing a wider base. To add on, Nintendo has no obligations to the "hardcore." The "hardcore" didn't support the gamecube and left long ago. Their appeals are geared toward their core gamers; the ones who stick with them through and through and are willing to adapt to new and interesting ideas.
[QUOTE="eveileb-ekam"] Youre missing my point. Shooters on consoles is not a blue ocean. Its already been conquered by someone other than Nintendo. There is no point in Nintendo occupying that space. That is true; "hardcore" shooters ARE a red ocean. But it is not because it is conquered that Nintendo does not venture into it; it is because it will not draw in a sufficient amount of new customers.
