Bridging the gap is a fool's errand
Just as 2D Mario fans will not necessarily be 3D mario fans, you cannot get old school expanded gamers to become hardcore gamers
yes the Wii hs been out less time than the PS2, but the way Nintendo has been treating it the past few years, it won't be out as long as the PS2

Where'd you get that 'hardcore' crap from? No one is talking about making anyone 'hardcore'.
And no one is talking about old-school gamers either.
It talks about new gamers. People who came into gaming with the Wii.

It talked about converting the new gamers into loyalists, hence Hardcore, and my point is that that is a foolish attempt, since the new gamers are only gaming ecause of thei expanded and old school games, so unless you cater to them with more of those games, they will notstick around, they will not be bridged into loaylist gamers by 3D Mario and the like

People who are into gaming are not 'hardcore'. I don't really know what hardcore is but only a minority of gamers consider themselves as such.
NSMBii is a bridge title.
All gamers started somewhere, most didn't just jump into gaming, they started out simple and spread out to more complex titles.
And also, stop with the 3D Mario is crap thing. SMG1/2 are considered two of the best games this gen and regardless of wether you like it or not, millions do.
Old school 2D Mario is awesome but so is 3D mario.
