I dont believe that "casuals" are buying the wii like Nintendo says. I think their true Nintendo fans. Either Nintendo fans from yesteryear that grew up and got kids on their own, current ds owners, or long time nintendo users. True casuals dont wait out side of stores early in the morning and pop down $250 for a game console. That is ALOT of money. Their not truly expanding the audience, these people have always been there. the same people. Most likely, they are adults that used to play it as kids and wanted their own kids to play with Mario.

That could be a good point, except it's all your opinion...there's likely more facts that support casuals buying the Wii than hardcore gamers.

And yes, casual players can throw down $250 for a Wii...just because they're a casual gamer doesn't mean they're poor...it's often the opposite.
