As a long time Nintendo supported I enjoy all my Nintendo Consoles including my Wii.

As such I am rather confused by Nintendo's marketing strategy for the Wii.

For the Gamecube Nintendo showed alot of support over its short life despite the small size of the install base (22 million) with two star fox games, three Zelda games, a fire emblem games (designed for the console unlike the Wii Fire Emblem), Eternal Darkness, Two Pikmin Games, Two Metroid Games, FOUR mario Party Games and Kriby Air Ride.

Now the Wii  54 million install base three years after Launch has

One Zelda Game originally developed for the Gamecube

A fire emblem game ported to the Wii with lackluster visuals

No Eternal Darkness

Two Pikmin Ports

No Star Fox

One Metroid designed foe the Wii and one collection

One Mario Party Game designed for the Gamecube with gamecube visuals and poor motion controls

No Kirby Games

And a whole lot of games with Wii in the title.

Now does anyone think Nintendo has put to much of its resources into the casual market and neglected the hardcore fans many of whom stayed with Nintendo even through the Gamecube era?

Maybe there is a reason why the Gamecube only sold 22 million and the Wii is on its way to 100 million.  You should be well aware the "hardcore" gaming croud is small, but extremly vocal, giving the illusion that they are more important then they really are.

Yeah there is a reason on why the Wii is in first place.  Wii launch price $250 PS3 launch price $500 - $600.

A low price didn't help the GameCube. Or the Xbox 360 Arcade when it was cheaper than a Wii.

You didn't mention anything about when the PS3 dropped to $300 and it was outselling the Wii.  That's when Nintendo had to drop the price of the Wii, so yes price is everything.
