In one regard I don't see Wii Sports as being significantly different from a game like GTA. I have multiple friends who bought PS2/PS3 just to play GTA and the yearly iterations of FIFA, but rarely game and rarely extend their gaming beyond this fairly narrow scope. These guys are, by any reasonable definition of the expression, casual gamers. The difference between GTA and Wii Sports is that GTA also seems to be more acceptable to hardcore gamers than Wii Sports.

I really think people overstate the number and importance of casual/infrequent/new, or whatever you'd like to call them, gamers on the Wii. Sure they are there, sure they mightn't have bought a Wii if it weren't for Wii Fit but I don't think they are very different from the people who bought a PS2 several years ago because of Guitar Hero, DDR or similar games. The Wii may have extended the market even further but I don't think a huge proportion of Wii gamers are total newcomers that purchase a Wii in a flurry of faddish excitement, but then rarely game once the novelty has worn off.

If this were the case then you would expect the Wii's attach rate to be significantly lower than the other current generation systems or even systems from previous generations and it just isn't.

That's the key. They pretend it is, and refuse to accept evidence otherwise, like when joystiq twice spun the NPD report showing third party sales were higher on the Wii.
