Keep asking the question...I'm sure you'll get your answer.

And when you get it you will cry because the casuals have taken over and the non-gamers are all to blame for playing their non-games.

Either way it is a lose-lose for Wii supporters: either the Wii will fail or it will only win because teh casuals have stormed the hardcore castle.

I don't know why we bother to formulate replies anymore. What we've been saying since e3 '06 has come to pass and still you think we can't see the forest for the trees. Something has changed in the videogame paradigm. This is neither fad nor fashion...it's just fun.

WiiSports has changed lives. Brain Age and Nintendogs have as well. But don't worry...you will get to keep your hardcore market...it isn't going anywhere. The Wii will never have a Gears of War or a Halo 3. It will never have a Metal Gear Solid 4. But that won't stop it from becoming a dominant force this generation. If you can get to the point that you can understand that simple fact you will enjoy this generation a whole lot more.

Don't fear the Wii...it is not a threat to the hardcore crowd. It only helps to define the hardcore even more.
