Look above, prof laid it out nicely for you.

But I'm surprised Nintendo fans here even debate this, i thought they would readily admit this themselves. Look at the Wii's library compared to the gamecubes ...

I imagin a lot of those gamecube owners are very unhappy this gen, and I doubt the Wii pulled many core gamers from the PS2 and Xbox crowd.

To be upset by the lack of games of a certain type wouldn't these "real gamers" have to be interested in the platform?

No? Don't have to own a platform to be disappointed with it ... especially as from the get go Wii looked like a big depature from typical Nintendo home consoles, something that would have put core ninty fans on alert.

You don't have to own a console to be disappointed with it, but you can’t be disappointed in something you don’t have any interest in.

I have no interest in the Twilight book series, outside of details that I have encountered by accident I know nothing of the series because I haven't bothered to look into it. No matter how bad other people say it is, or how much damage they claim it has done, I would never consider myself disappointed with it because I have no interest in it.

 

In my opinion it is completely fair to say that (after years of neglect by third party publishers) gamers have lost interest in the Wii, or that many gamers were disappointed because the Wii did not live up to its potential, but saying that they had no interest in it is clearly false.

Exactly, but the key here is gamers as a whole reacting to the general dearth of content on Wii in 2011-2012, not this "core gamer-everyone else" nonsense
