 Wii Sports 27.99
 Wii Play 14.40
 Mario Kart Wii 7.33
 Wii Fit Nintendo 6.93
 Super Mario Galaxy 6.86
 Super Smash Bros Brawl 6.72

 Nintendos best selling games seems to be a mix of games that would appeal to the core gamer and mini game collections for the casuals. Don't let that get in the way of the conclusions you are jumping to though.

None of the games you listed appeal to the Harcore audience that much, mostly casual. They sell well to CASUAL players who just want a little something every now and then.

Now the other list given is pretty good. I have never seen majority of those games for Wii or simply have never heard of them at all. Some of those actually look to appeal to the HC audience such as myself but Nintendo doesnt seem to advertise these as they should. If I have heard of half of those games before maybe I would not be so utterly disgusted with the games the Wii currently has to offer.

When some of those great games are actually released maybe my opinion of the Wii can change, until then, I stand my ground.

Well its not Nintendo's job to advertise 3rd party titles. Also I'm pretty sure there are "Hardcore"  gamers who play Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, and Mario Kart Wii. Super Mario Galaxy IS the highest rated game this generation you know, so unless the people who review the games aren't "hardcore" or the game it self targets that specific demograph along with others.

 

QTF.  And yes most people that are core Wii players (at least on this site) know about those games.  And half of the top selling games are hardcore titles, I've never seen a casual gamer be actually GOOD at MK Wii, Smash, or have more then 80 stars on SMG.  So to say the things you do is ignorance ^_^ everyone is that way at one time, the best way to solve this problem is to read up on all consoles including one's you dislike =P
