Do you think Nintendo doing enough to market these games to the “hardcore gamer”?
What is there to market, most of these games that Nintendo is pushing are for casual gamers anyway. Look at the recent press conference.. Wii Fit was the main attraction.
What do you think are/have been the effects of Nintendo’s marketing to gamers?
Its not about marketing, its about what products are available. Nintendo knows that they don't need to market to the "hardcore" audience because they are going to consume their products no matter what. Right now its all about the new customers, the casual gamers. So far, their marketing has been effective. I've seen Mall Kiosks with Wii games on demo.
