The whole toy thing ... I'm sure you all don't take everything you hear so literally, so why start now? Why get all up in arms when someone states it's a "casual" console, when Nintendo fans themselves exclaim how it has captured the casual audience. Yes, plenty of hardcore gamers own a Wii and there is certainly a market for a Final Fantasy game on the Wii. However, my sister in her mid 30s has no interest in buying a Final Fantasy game for her Wii. I'm not saying there isn't a core audience on the Wii and I don't think he was either. The core gamers are probably getting close to the same total number as the 360, but percentage wise there's no doubt there's more core gamers on the 360. Therefore more 360 owners are core gamers.
Also, I don't think the man stated which console he prefers or that he necessarily is trying to down the Wii. What's the full context of his statement? This is a snippet of an interview. Who knows what else he said. Kotaku didn't translate the full interview. Perhaps he sees a brighter future for the Wii and PS3.
