Was Nintendo's 2008 flop of a lineup merely an issue with perception?

What matters to any consumer (we're talking about the core gamer) is the libary availible to them in total , the Wii lacks in this department. The average customer doesn't walk into a shop and say " yes I know there are a toal of XXX Wii games but how many of them were made by Nintnendo ?"

You're right, but your conclusion is wrong.

The Wii's library is exactly why it's outselling the HD twins.

Your taking the discussion in a different direction , I believe the Wii libary sells well because of the broader demographic it is able to reach , fulfiling the needs of the core gamer is entirely different.

Your language is ambiguous, though. When you use the word "core", do you mean it in the way Nintendo means it? That is to say, people who were gamers before this generation, not including people who had lapsed out of the hobby?
