Slightly fixed. Also, I distinctly recall the exact same argument by a lot of people before NSMBWii came out. This , in conjunction with the argument that everybody who wanted a Wii already got one.

I'm not the minority though - many, many gamers consider the wii to be poor at producing hardcore titles, which is backed by the wii devs and the sales of the more hardcore games as the wii cannot provide advanced graphics, advanced physics and advanced ai - key elements to hardcore titles.

NSMBWii was always going to sell because of a)Japan b)Nostalgia. SMG2 and Zelda already have had titles on the wii, so the nostalgia factor can't/won't kick in.

Hmmm. So it was clear to you what kind of system selling effect NSMBWii will have? Is that why you said October 11th 2009 after the Wii price drop, just a month before NSMBWii came out, "reckon there will be a 75k drop in figures, and a lesser Christmas boom than seen previously. Figures may stablise at 200k, or less, I'd like to think/believe." ?  

I didn't know of the existance of NSMBWii - if I had, it's clear hark back to sheer nostalgia is a certain home run due to all the Nintendo fan boys out there who'd have bought it if it was nothing more than the first level made for wii.
