Projection. The core flocks around things that the gaming industry touts "HD! Blu-ray! Online!" The mass market has not flocked to any of those, and Nintendo made the Wii to conform to them. They did not conform to the Wii.

Before claiming Nintendo is doing so well with the market market you should compare the adoption rate of the Wii with the one of the IPod or the IPhone. ( or even Blu Ray...)

The curves don't exactly move the same way.

Lets face it many are touting how much Nintendo is innovating but what innovation exactly have they released since Wii Fit ?

Answer : WSR and soon Wii Fit+. Go innovation ! Oh and a new Mario ( which ain't exactly a new franchise...)

This isn't the first time that I am seeing this "innovation" argument. It's quite new and somewhat strange. Apparently the people who used to complain about too many Wii peripherals are now criticizing the lack of them.

There's a lot of things which still haven't been done with the Wii and a new Mario is one of them. You shouldn't mock a game that will beat Modern Warfare 2 in lifetime sales.

I'm not asking about new peripherals. But just you know about new games, instead of rehashing the same 15 years old franchises ( which seem to be what the fans want when you see how many people are asking for the next Mario or Zelda anyway).
