As a rule, casual gamers aren't also early adopters. They're not gonna hunt for the system or pay top dollar.
I guess Nintendo is either breaking the rules or rewriting them, then, because they're doing 2 of those 3 pretty regularly, or haven't you been checking the news? ;)
This is why the Wii is still sold out, Wii Sports + Wii Remote + $249 price tag. Not just Nintendo fans are buying it, Zelda's sales have dropped off to below half of Wii's sales during January. From this perspective, you could almost say the Wii's release was designed less for the hardcore and more for everybody else, if it were just the hardcore Nintendo fans or even just hardcore gamers, sales would have slowed down some time ago. And the way things are it don't look like Wii's will be *readily* available in any region until June.
Nobody is crazy enough to accuse me of being sane.
