I agree overall, Microsoft are targeting the Wii audience perfectly, if they can execute it well, sales will rise. I never get these people that say "my mom likes this blah blah blah" it sounds like BS to me. But I showed my mum Your Shape, and she wants to play it!!!!!
Now if she would want to play it more than once, that I don't know. Microsoft needs to make sure the experiences they're creating are rock solid and keep people coming back.
I know when I have my neice and nephew over, they always play at least one of the sonic demos I've downloaded (Sonic tennis, Sonic racing, Sonic unleashed) ALWAYS. and that's in like the last 6 months. With Adventure, Dance Central, Kinectimals and Sonic Free Riders ... every time they come up I can see them having even more fun. Microsoft's previous casual attempts, Viva, Banjo, ect, never got them excited, it never worked. This however .. really does.
I must admit, I'm dissapointed with the lack of firsty party announcements. I don't own many 1st party games anyway, Fable III and Halo Reach are happening I know, but perhaps Halo Wars 2, a new L4D, a solid non natal RARE game or a 3rd party exclusive like splinter cell would have been nice.
I think it's key for us core gamers not to forget all the great 3rd party games coming up though, Dead RIsing II, Metal Gear Solid Rising (which I'm VERY interested in now, never knew MGS was like that!), Fallout New Vegas, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Sims 3, NFS: Hot Pursuit, Bulletstorm, Mortal Kombat 9 along with all the Arcade games and Reach, Fable III. I'll have plenty to play in the next year
But one more game would have been nice, hey E3 isn't over yet!
