Since this is getting out of hand, Im posting my final remarks on this:
1) Dont believe Reggie, he is just a good speaker and a good businessman, he is the same Reggie that promotes Ubisoft games like Rayman raving rabbids and says Animal Crossing is a core game.
2) Our assumptions and fears about Wii and its games will end in 2009, third parties dont realized this but HD console audience are becoming smaller and Wii userbase is becoming bigger. It will happen in 2009 the October conference proves that there are more surprise awaits for us.
3) This is only 2 years of the system lifecycle, the games will improved overtime. We cant see it now because we're only seeing the negatives. Sooner or later even the casuals will be sick of same Wii Sports rip off.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
