This is how ideas such as "Nintendo abandoned the core" "Nintendo doesn't care about the core" begin. I'll explain; Rumors are taken as fact and then when these lofty expectations aren't reached, you miss the announcements that actually are pretty substantial.
So basically, if Nintendo doesn't discuss any of those three games at all, they somehow continue to habitually ignore the "core" gamers. Its ridiculous really. The backlash from E3 was not justified either in my opinion..But that could be because I took Cassamasina's Kid Icarus Pipe dream as such. I was happy about M+ and Wii-speak. But anyway, that is irrelevant now.
Take Roma's advice and buy couple lbs of salt, you'll be able to find plenty of grains from that to take this rumor with.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
