The problem isn't that the gamers are casual. This 'problem' you're pointing out about hardcore gamers are because the games themselves are casual. They're a series of mini-games that are created simply to show off the Wiimote technology for the most part. Hardcore gamers (myself included - 33k gamerscore, I'd consider that fairly hardcore) are looking for something different than the Wii offers.

I own a Wii. I also only own 2 games for it - one of them bought simply for the 2nd controller. Absolutely nothing else has interested me on that console...

The only reason I'm keeping mine now is for when my not-yet-two-year-old daughter is old enough. Wii games will appeal just fine to her. Maybe playing along with her will actually make me think these games are fun. But if I'm on my couch ready to game, I grab for the 360 controller over the Wii controller every single time.

 

When and why did you buy a Wii? Which game got you interested in the system? It's not Wii Play, so it's probably Wii Sports. But I can't say it for sure, because many people often exclude Wii Sports when they talk about their Wii games since it's coming bundled with the system.

 

I bought it in Janaury of 07. If we don't include Wii Sports, then count me as having bought 1 game. I just figured sine Wii Sports is considered as a sale on here, I'd include it in my list.

I bought a Wii because I'm an avid gamer.  I just didn't realize I would care so little about it.
