This article is the weakest of sauce. Nintendo has never abandoned the core audience, and as a serious gamer who owns only a Wii, I still have plenty of games to beat. I was hoping to knock a couple more out in the new year, but there appears to be a plethora of good games coming out in '09 so I guess I'll have to make some tough decisions.
