I honestly think Sony's Wand is a bigger threat to Nintendo than Natal

i don't think the core gamers have as big an influence on the casuals as you think. casuals got behind wii fit because it was a new and was perceieved as a video game that can help you stay in shape. the core weren't behind wii play, and the reason wii music failed (by nintendos expectations) was because nintendo couldn't properly convey what the game was really about.

nintendo has brand recognition now, they also have huge franchises like the wii series and the mario series. Sony has neither, nor a franchise that can even compete with these two. SOny might get mote core support with their wand but they arn't going to get more casuals than nintendo.
