Don't be mad at them, it's a defensive mechanism so those "h4rdc0r3 g4m3rz" can feel superior at something, however meaningless it might be.

Bold is the important bit. After Wii Music (which was a horrible failure and an embarrasment to Miyamoto's track record) Nintendo just made sequels to their popular Wii games without exploring that direction further. And when they didn't keep delivering on their promise, hype gradually decreased as people lost interest. Had it not been for New Super Mario Bros, the Wii would have declined even earlier, and faster.

Don't go there, but you know very well that games today to the average onlooker demands a much higher level of hand-eye coordination than decades before the turn of the century. If I was a casual I would be intimidated as well. I was playing UFC with my friend and his uncle came in and saw us playing the game and started cheering us on. He asked to play and when he asked what the controls were it was like handing him a laundry list that he didnt have the time or patience to sort out. Remember the days when you could play a game and just punch and duck like the old boxing games on Sega? Yeah, those days are over. 

UFC is separated by three types of gamers (from online experience):

1. The spammer: Generally a casual without the patience to learn how the games core mechanics work. They just want to punch and kick their way to victory.

2. The moderate player: This player knows how to reverse sometimes, but knows the essentials moves and have to time them.

3. The hardcore gamer (technician): Not only knows how timing works, but how to create advances on their opponent, reverse at the right time and force them into submission or take them out whether on the ground or standing. They not only know the essentials, but the extra parts, like knocking your breathing off course with calculated punches and picks to the stomach and wearing out their opponents stamina. They understand that if they cannot win one way they always have  other options. The other two might get stumped because of it.

I dont consider those games quality, I consider them smart gimmicks. Remember this is a videogame site and this is about sales. Nintendo hasnt been selling big over legit titles, which is why they were never taken seriously by third parties. The casuals buy it, play it and put it in the closet plain and simple. The main people still using their Wii's today are the Nintendo core which are the same loyalists who bought the Wii U in the first place. Without a Wii mote being in the forefront they wont have the demand to beat Sony and Microsoft. I think sales have proven the point that Nintendo cant beat them without luring casuals. How in the world could a console sell double what the competition did at one point and still have less use? 

The way things are going....I feel a change in the winds this coming new gen.

I may not measure up to your extreme skillz, but I just checked my hand-forehead coordination and it worked really well. As a casual noob, my attention span isn't made for reading technical gibberish about the classification of gamers.

So you say 10M Mario Galaxy sales, 11M Smash Bros, 7M Galaxy2, 6.7M Zelda, 6M DKCR are all unlegit sales? Are all of those are smart gimmicks?

You say the typical Nintendo game is the one worth playing once and then put away. Fun and interesting fact is when you go to the used games aisle you can find lots and lots of games like Killzone, Bioshock, Red Dead Redemption, Arkahm City, Mass Effect, Fallout etc. (those are good games don't get me wrong), still it's much less usual to find a game like Mario Kart Wii, despite the fact it has sold 33M uints.

Now why does people does whant to get rid of the former games, and not of the latter? The fact is, it's true a lot of MKWii player are "casuals" but still they keep playing the game for years, hence it holds more value the avarage 90+ metacritic hardcore game. If you play a game for such a long time it can't be a gimmick. You say the only ones who are playing their Wiis today are Nintendo loyal fans still Just Dance 3 has been in top10 all the holyday season, don't you see some fallacy in your argument?

You're on a gaming forum, I doubt I am referring to you. Love the attempt at sarcasm though. Its not elitism either, I am just stating there is a difference.

I figured three years would be the extent of the Wii's enjoyment. It beat me out by a year, but their sales dropped drastically after that.
