Thats 6 of the Wii's top 12 selling games this Christmas, thats the very definition of casual/braindead console. You could win at those games without even knowing how to play.
The other 6 :
Mario Galaxy - classic, but not overly hardcore Guitar Hero 3 - non traditional game, that is played hardcore by its fans Crossbow Training - kiddie light gun games Lego Star Wars - kiddie Zelda - an action game disguised as a casual RPG Metriod 3 - hardcore shooter
So of the 12 games that sold 40K+ , only 1 is hardcore in my book. (Metriod) So Rol dont try to tell me 1 out of 4 Wii owners are hardcore gamers. Because if they are they are doing their hardcore gaming on a PS3 or XBox. |
Did I ever claim this?

I claimed that based on over 4 million Zelda TP sales. If you'd have checked the million sellers you'd seen that Red Steel, Re4 and Super Paper Mario are among those.
Some people, like you dgm, think they are the definition of hardcore and don't understand people have fun with games like RRR and Mario and Sonic, and despise Nintendo games for some reason. if you don't like Nintendo that's fine, but don't call yourself hardcore if you never played Mario or Zelda.
I don't say that games like BioShock and Mass Effect are not among the better games available and I understand peoples preferences (I don't like these mini-games either) but don't give me this Nintendo=Kiddy Bullshit anymore.
The way you dismiss Lego Star Wars as Kiddy says enough to me.
