And that's a fact, of this whole console generation Wii has the largest userbase share of nongamers / first-time console owners. If you take a look at the sales of casual shovelware crap and "hardcore" games, the shovelware rock it. 

There is a huge problem with your argument. 

If I look at the list of best selling games, I see games. That's a fact. 

1. Wii Sports
2. Wii Play
3. Wii Fit 
4. Mario Kart Wii
5. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
6. Super Mario Galaxy
7. Mario and Sonic at the Olimpics
8. Mario Party 8
9. Twilight Princess
10. Wii Sports Resort

 

You also suggested, that all or many of these games are "casual shovelware crap". 

This is not a fact. You can't prove that even one of these games are either "casual", or "shovelware", let alone "crap". 

 

 

 

Whilst you're right, none are shovelware crap, the bolded can be played by previously non-gamers quite easily and are highly accessible (the main advantage of most of Nintendo games). Also, compare to the top 10 games on the HD consoles and you'll see some glaring genre differences, so this depends greatly on a person's definition of casual and shovelware.
