Screw The Casuals, Let Them Abandon Nintendo

No, the reason the Wii U is not lighting the charts on fire is because there are too few games, or at least two few blockbusters. It's as simple as that. You have Mario U, and Zombie U, the latter of which has somewhat of a limited appeal. Not much else beyond that.

Wii's success on the so called "casual" is WAY WAY overstated, mostly by the bewildered core and gaming media who are still puzzled as to why this underpowered console became such a smash success and thus made up this "causal market" excuse to justify it.

These "casuals" are not some alien species or something. They are still gamers like you and me, and if the games come, games that appeal to them, so will they. The thing is at the moment Wii U does NOT have many games, and even fewer games that appeal to the mass market audience.

I think the sales so far prove that your wrong, the casual market really doesn't care to much about gaming, yet look at how its successer is doing, its only 50$ more then wii. if compare to basuc and launched with mario, has any wii game this gen had people line up for games like 360 and ps3 owners do an anticaption of a big release.
