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. 

Wrong. I started on Atari which consisted of primarily simplistic games as compared to today's "core" games.

On top of that FAR more people play flash web games than anything any console puts out showing far more regular "gamers" enjoy the simply quick games. Nintendo simply captured what was extensive on the web and started that on the consoles.

Once they buy these games on a home console, these players are more likely to buy a slightly more complex game like NSMBWii and potentially keep moving up the game tree depending on their own personal lives. Some people just don't have time for longer in-depth games. Reason why the only game I purchase that takes a real long time to beat is Zelda.

Other than that, most of my games are less than 20hrs games. As it is it takes me months to get through it in my shorter play spurts.

Its not about length. Mario and wii sports are both pick up and play but Mario is a much better game. Games like TF2 are also very pick up and play and conducive to short bouts of gaming. And yet companies continue to produce motion control gimmick based games thinking that this is the best way to hook people. 

Have you played Wii Sports (Resort particularly)?

Yeah
