@Soriku I think you'll find the HD consoles still beat the in terms of quantity at least if you take away FPS's but that's irrelevant . I won't dispute the fact that people may use the Wii purely for the core experience , i'm not trying to call anyone who does a casual gamer or a fanboy .

But when you look at what the HD consoles offer to the core gamer , it seems hard to justify using the Wii as your only core console. This gen Sony and MS and seem to have a greater respect for the core gamer than Nintendo do, probably due to the fact that their success relies more heavily on the core gamer, traditional developers seem to have more respect and confidence in the HD consoles which translates to more 3rd party support .

I read Nitnendo was considering not releasing a core game released in Japan in the US , this may even shed light on Nintendo's stance with the core gamer.

 

I think you're way too narrowminded to determine what core games actually are. I see this behaviour so often and it's really dumb. I use my Wii as a core console, just as I use my 360 and DS as core consoles. They serve different needs, but one need is not less or more important than the other. If you like what Wii offers it's more than sufficient to serve as your only console. It's the narrowminded elitist that somehow don't want to see that.

Could I have played Fire Emblem on 360? No. Could I have played Mass Effect on Wii? No. Just two of my favorite games this gen. Both are definitely core games.

Above I posted a list of games Nintendo has released in just two years. If you see that as "no respect for the core gamer" you're delusional, really.
