I've been gaming for a very long time, traditionally core (and most "hardcore") gamers are tools who will buy what ever the marketing machine tells them is cool this season. I include major magazines and website in that group, because they are all basically paid one way or another to cover certain games. They make the people believe that they actually came up with the idea to buy the games.
The only thing Nintendo has done different this time around is instead of keeping EGM and G4 in their pockets, they decided to go after the today show and the NYTimes. Seems to be working pretty well.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
