Making something for the hardcore fans and not the general population is the biggest mistake a company can ever make, considering that the hardcore fans make up a tiny amount of the population. Not to mention the fact that hardcore fans are always notoriously very fickle and very hard to please.

I sort of agree with this because it's true, but nintendo is the exception to that rule. This isn't the first ridiculous gimmick they've put up.

How does "gimmick" mean they're making things for the hardcore group? Considering the fact that the Wii is capturing the casual gamers like mad, as well as the DS with it's dual screens (I'm sure that's a gimmick to you as well), I think that they know precisely what to do and are doing the right thing.

If anything, the PS3 is guilty of that. No casual gamer will pay $600 for a game system that tries to be a crappy entertainment center and has a few decent games. Someone not too into games will be more likely to pay $300 for a core 360, or $250 for a Wii with the nifty remote sensors.

And since when does new or different automatically mean 'ridiculous gimmick'?

Ridiculous indeed.

There not doing the right thing, because it's the same as last time. Hyperfocus on some nonsense and no solid games.

I never denied that PS3 is guilty of that.

I never claimed that, but wii mote as a standard is.

A guy using Taekwon-frickin-do could outpunch them, let alone a boxer.

Look at the punch, he's just pushes against the mans abdominum. No impact at all.
