Either this is extreme sarcasm making fun of things such as surveys saying the Wii audience is made up of kids, girls, and soccer moms.......or it's the complete opposite and is a realization of the status of the what "hardcore" games generally sell like on the Wii without cherrypicking

Cherrypicking ex. "What about Resident Evil 4?"

Mentioning RE4 on the Wii isn't cherrypicking, its the end result of what a well-designed game on the Wii is capable of.

Do you think little Bobby got Mario Kart and RE4 from his mom and dad? I'd highly doubt it. RE4 is a game that was done very well, and the dormant hardcore crowd went out and bought the game. They're waiting for more. You could ask why Metroid Prime 3 didn't sell well, which is another good game, but didn't get the same attention by the core crowd.  It is an interesting debate point.
