I am not refering to the fact it changes the way the games are played like OoT, M64, BT blah blah

I am saying for the Wii it signaled the joining of Gamers and Casuals under one console, which may just change the outlook in the future. it could have major repercussions

This pretty much already happened with the PS2.


no really? I was pointing out the it was happening on the Wii. Never said it was a first. And you know what? The unition(is it a word?) of under the PS2 what historical in the context on the gaming industry. I personally beleive GTA was their SMG. Things would have been alot different last Gen if GTA would not have come out, and definitly if it came out on Xbox or Cube.

Sorry, I really did think that you thought this was the first time this happened. I do agree that Super Mario Galaxy will bring more hardcore gamers to the Wii. I think you might be overestimating the impact, though.
