You know, this doesn't really fit the topic but since I don't see a better place to ask Ill do it here. Why do game companies and gamers alike assume that to get people to game you need some shallow, crappy game like wii sports, sport champions, kinectimals etc.? All of us on this site are "core gamers" and we certainly didn't get started on such nonsense. Wouldn't it be better to give them fun experiences that challange them slightly so you  make new gamers and not just people jumping in for 2 seconds of fun then going right back to movies/books/tv ?

You can't compare the 60 000 members of this site to the millions and millions of gamers (both casual and hardcore) out there that would never even think to go on a video game website. People here are a minority. If this site represented the rest of the world PS3 would be sitting in first with about 80 million sold right now and Xbox 360 would be in 3rd with about 25 million.

I'm not talking about just vgchartz. Tens of millions got into gaming without simplistic motion control games. And people aren't born "core" or "casual", they become them overtime. Meaning when the tens of millions of gamers out there started playing they  jumped in and slowly became core with high quality games and not shovelware filled peripherals.
