Had I not written the qualifier "really", I would agree with you.

No, it still sounds ignorant and is aggravating, especially given the sheers quantity of niche, quality titles you can find on Wii. As I said someone else jump in I don't like list wars. :S But I do apprciate your candor. Agree to disagree. Try to be less controversial if you can, you know it's a touchy point...

The sentence, specifically bolded, was supposed to say "beginning to show who", as in the nintendo franchises are so similar in sales, and have such few sequels, that for a platformer to get his fix, must buy others, resulting in dramatic overlap.

Impossible. DKCR versus NSMBWii:

Name	Genre	User Score	USA	Europe	Japan	Global
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)	Platform	8.95	10.74	5.82	4.41	24.14
Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii)	Platform	9.11	2.34	1.41	1.00	5.45

Now what? Trad Nintendo Core = 5.45-ish or 24.14-ish? These two platformers performed way differently in sales...

Off to drink ,  enjoy the evening.

I already explained to you much earlier that you're not looking at traditional-core buying a traditional-core game. You're looking at lapsed gamers and nostalgia core buying a traditional core game (people who don't even game, or have very little interest until the nostalgia made them buy it).

Compare it to every single other wii platformer. You can't cling to one thing and call it support. The "many" is called the support. The singular is called the exception. And exceptions come with explanations, and I've just provided you with one.

I also have a wii with about 15 games. I have all the nintendo first party games, and most niche ones and I know from experience because I'm always looking up hidden gems, that there are barely any. LKS and muramasa are head and shoulders above any other genre entries on the system.
