Given I used facts and not opinions on forums to come to my conclusions, no you didn't fix it your broke it.

Way back when, Nintendo home console did have all the gamers flock to them, it's been a looong long time since those days though.

Indeed, your numbers prove my point. There are many posers that buy video games. Thanks Seece! ;)

posers? Do you mean posters? Why are you going on about posters. And no the sales do not prove your point that Nintendo has a core home console userbase, actually the opposite, that most if not a huge chunk of the Wii's userbase is casual and buys dance/fitness games. Just look at what charts for the Wii these last 2 years.

You do realize 10Million people bought Super Smash bros Brawl, do you not? Grammar nazis don't interest me... You and Koweniki fit that category very well. I don't lack education, you both lack manners. :P

I'm not a grammar nazi I just didn't know what you meant.

And only a mere 3m more than Melee on Gamecube? It's not as if SSMB doesn't look friendly to casuals either.

Now, I won't say you're using mere opinions, because I don't stoop to that level. I understand what you're saying, that casuals may like SSBB, but it is a known thing in the community that Brawl is a game more geared to the core gamer, especially the one that likes Nintendo games. It's an excellent fighter, very fun, high quality and highly competitive. By the same measure it can be said that Starcraft is more of a game for gamers than for casuals. More evidence is seen in the fan-made smashboards forum/community for super smash Melee/Brawl gaming, discussion and tourneys.

With that said, we can see that with only 3m more than Melee, the proof is that total HW sales in a gen don't prove total number of real gamers on a platform, since the Cube and Wii core base seem to be very similar, if numbers are any indicator (8M to 10M).

Which is exactly the point I'm making.
