As a core gamer (do not read as hardcore) who has a Wii I have to say Nintendo consoles have not had very many games that appeal to me for a long time. The Wii happens to now appeal not only to non-core gamers but non-gamers. I've stated it many times but ill state it again, the success of the Wii is that it appeals greatly to non-gamers and non-core gamers which now make up a bulk of the Video Game market. I happen to be a core gamer and do not find my Wii entertaining.
