What do they expect when most of their releases have been sequals to games already released this gen.  Another Excite game, another Wii Sports, another Wii Fit, and another Mario Galaxy 2 coming and all the while some IPs are sitting in wait for a Wii version still.

Zelda!

They failed to reach projections because they haven't released any new core games. Casual games can only get you so far.

Next year they're going to bring in the heat though finally.

Hardware projections were based on Wii continuing to sell to casuals so that are far from being actually the case..........

Releasing more core games will not bring the Wii back to 26 millions/year..

You guys are asking for stuff that you want as a Wii owner, not what a casual that hasn't purchased a Wii yet, would want. Those are entirely different things...
