Core audiences though are indeed gone. Anyone see CoD: MW3 sales on Wii? Yeesh!

The announcement of the Wii U kinda killed it. And COD is a casual game.

Zelda's more core than COD, and it's racked up a respectable 3+ million so far. Xenoblade is also doing alright for itself in the US, for a JRPG and a new IP. The core isn't entirely gone, it's just reduced.

The industry does not consider CoD a casual game. But call it what you want.

The industry still holds the childish view that hardcore means M-rated. Hardcore is a playstyle, and most COD players are about as hardcore as Wii Fit users.

Well there aren't many fitness, party, or dance games that get an M rating. But once they start adding curse words, gore, and titties... maybe those genres will be core. Atleast with your logic.

Anyhow, you're arguing with what the industry considers core and casual. The fact is "core" games always had modest performence on Wii (excluding a few 1st party exclusives) and  it got worse over time.
