Talk about deliberately ignoring someone's point. It was about the audience those games proved, not the IP.

 

well maybe i should have elaborated more , audience becomes less relevant when a franchise is established , e.g i might watch LOTR but mostly dislike fantasy movies ,  play MGS4 but not really like stealth shooters or play smg but not realy like platformers.

the bigger the franchise the more willing we are to overlook tthe gere that fanchise is assocated with , this is whhy ii saidd bengas point was weakk.

 

edit; keyboard malfunctioning...

It's really the other way around. These series are established among core-gamers (you know those people that don't actually own a Wii), still they sell very well on Wii.

That's my whole point abour RE and Zelda selling well on Wii, it proves that there's a sizeable core audience for core games.
