LOL everyone dont get me. for one thing Im not a Wii hater but Nintendo takes a different route than their rivals. instead of focusing on core games and mature and established franchise, they take a risk and move to casual arcade experience type of gameplay. And no established franchise except for mario though Metroid was a exception.
WHY? Because catering to old fanbase wont cut it. What if 5 years from now you will be laughed by the teens and kids if you goto a video game convention? because thats what happened in the anime industry. After watching anime conventions in youtube I laugh.
Thats what will happen in the video game industry if they cant accept the fact that we are still in this generation. anyone knew disco?

Video games are not ‘rock and roll’ anymore. Instead of that youthful explosion of energy, video games are being dominated more and more of middle age people thinking gloriously back on their golden days. Unless video games are made relevant to young people, video games will become the new disco.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
