Examples of Wii gaming moving upmarket? According to M the issue of disruption is not motion controls, mind you, it's about gaming being immediate, accessible, inclusive.
Where is the evidence of such a "new gaming" taking over in core areas? Do we have a new wave of "new" rpgs storming the rpg market? What about shooters? Simulators? Adventure games?
Even breaking these genre conventions, moving upstream would mean fulfilling an "old" section of the market with disruptive propositions. So we're looking for gamers that were entrenched in "old" gaming, but whose needs are now fulfilled by the disruptive product. I don't know a single such person, but maybe that's just my personal milieau.
What I know are people who play "WiiGames" but never played anything other than Tetris or the occasional coin-op 20 years ago, and people who play "WiiGames" in parallel to "old" rpgs, adventures, rts games. As Alby said, I see them tapping into a great, forgotten market that was always there.
Again, maybe it's just me having a limited perspective, but I'd like to see the evidence of the "new gaming" upstreaming at least half as clear as it is that consoles are disrupting PCs in an increasing number of gaming sectors.
