 Most people didn't care about gaming, why do you think Nintendo is trying to do with the Wii, what did Reggie say in E3 2006?  Do you know people who never read books or watch TV or go to the movies?  How about video games?

 

Most games never appeal to the full userbase of any console, even packins


well wii sports seems to be appealing to most of the wii owners,and no i dont know anyof the people that dont do any entertainment


 Not any entertainment, I was referring to the difference between gaming compared to mass medias, a lot of people don't game but they do those other things.

 

Wii sports is appealing to a lot of casuals, and people new to gaming, like my parents, but I also know of a lot of people who aren't interested in the game, they prefer stuff like mario and zelda
