All that at the cost of the “core” gamer. Not that Nintendo cares, since the core gamer snubbed them and their GameCube last generation (a bit less than 22m total sold, IIRC, and by comparison even the last-place PS3 has skipped past that sales figure in less than 3 years), and the masses are eating the Wii up. Don’t think for a second that the core gamer is represented by the table scraps Nintendo is throwing out. One Zelda game, a handful of Mario games, and a Metroid Prime compilation does not satisfy the “hardcore fan”. If anything, the DS platform is a far better value for the core gamer than the Wii is, without sacrificing the mass appeal the Wii has.

This latest news, if true, only confirms that Nintendo is attempting to play catch-up with the other competitors for the business of the core gamer that they have neglected this generation (so far).

  Your actually argueing the fact that Blu-ray doesn’t belong on a console? Well maybe they should just take wi-fi off all 3 consoles to then? If your statement was true and Consoles were for just games alone then connectivity with friends wouldnt be a feature either. Which is the reason that these consoles are doing so well. Wii connect you with your friends offline, microsoft and sony took a different approach with psn and xbox live obviously. My point is that sure consoles are for gaming but …

  So, what does “hardcore game” mean for you? CoD or RE5? I’m curious, I’m sure I will laugh.

  While I do agree, the 360 and this new console likely being a piece of shit doesn’t really help in this situation.
