Nintendo is about "fun"
they dont care about elaborate story lines, they don't care about pushing the technological envelope graphics wise. they don't care about trying to get a "badass" gamer centric image.
I respect that company, but there are at LEAST 3 different sub markets within the gaming community.
The casuals (the popcap gamers) who can only really play a little per day, at break or something cuz they've got nothing better to do.
The "deeps", the people who've been playing since atari, have the konami code memorized, and have a favorite final fantasy.
The mediums, the people drawn in by the glitzy flashy high tech graphics but really don't give 2 shits about a story line anyway
oh and thats just the big ones. I mean you can narrow it down more to competitive gamers, pc enthusiasts, mmo junkies, etc..
Nintendo just appeals to all ages, and thats the safest bet when dealing with numbers.
