To be fair I think people are a bit too harsh with it considering that the Wii and DS have both sold TONS and the consumer base can only grow so much more in the future. It&#039;s not like it was 3 years ago. Of course, I would also add that Nintendo has shot itself in the foot by making the Wii a haven for crapware and gimmicky nonsense, the likes of which long term supporters don&#039;t really care about. The company abandoned its real fanbase LONG ago, and now has to confront reality.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And this new DSi LL thing is just...a joke really. I mean where does this company get off making a &quot;new&quot; DS whose only actual feature is a larger screen. Come ON. Everyone will agree that there was a real need for the DSLite after the DS, and even the DSi after the DSLite. But to make a new DSi not even one year later? That is just plain desperation.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hmm&#8230;Nintendo.

We&#039;ve had these &quot;how influencial is the hardcore demographic&quot; discussions on Siliconera before, and it&#039;s like you said: it&#039;s a question of perception. It&#039;s why Microsoft have all those big-name Japanese developers attend their conferences and why they focus so fiercely on their third-party line-up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Other M saved that E3 conference I feel. A lot of people would have come out of it disappointed if it hadn&#039;t been there.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Great point.

No, games like Mother, Star Fox or F-Zero won&#039;t be huge multi-million blue ocean sellers, but they hit a specific, loud demographic that Nintendo needs back on their side.
