Really now?

You cant change and deny the fact, gaming in general was in downward slope not only on the Wii. Just remember, PS360 are relying more on third parties for them to stay alive. Month after month many games are knocked out in top 10. RE 5 even with good sales in its first month just done horrible next month
But do you know what? Its OK for 3rd party core developers. WHY? Just as like the hollywood industry as long as the games are blockbuster even the game isnt evergreen they make a revenue. You're just a milking cow to them not only you, but most of core gamers here. They dont care anymore they dont even try.
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
