Then how about stating that with 100% less attitude  

Though the technology is different they're making really similar games, I mean exactly the same in many cases and they try to control them the same way you play them on Wii especially boxing and bowling on Kinect.  

And its not just about checkpoints its about the game itself being simple and easy to get into you seemed to skip right over the question of good quality non Kinect games on the 360 that are pick up and play casual friendly, checkpoints doesn't make controls and game complexities any less difficult for non gamers.  Example since you want to bring up Mario.

NSMB Wii - D pad - movement - 1 - run/action 2- jump, Halo - left joystick - movement - right joystick - aim - right trigger shoot... well I'm not going to spell it out theres a lot for Halo, Super Mario Galaxy - joystick - movement - d-pad camera - A - jump - B - Crouch  - movement - spin.

Which one sells the best and easiest for the non gamer to get into? Why New Super Mario Brothers of course! 

Are non gamers buying games and consoles? That would make them gamers I think. Once again, I hate casual and core discussions.
