Ridiculous, stupid, and fanatical are the words I would use to describe the majority of posters in this thread. You are all going off on a rant without any justification. The comments aren't even vindictive. Microsoft isn't making a foolish or arrogant claim. Instead they are hoping casual gamers will graduate up to core gamers, or even hardcore gamers.

He says "graduate from a certain experience potentially with the Wii, either because it's limited on the type of gameplay that's available or the technology in that box", which is absolutely foolish, arrogant, and yes vindictive.

Yes they used the appropriate term. When you are learning how to ride a bike eventually you graduate from training wheels. The same way you might graduate from wiggle to a more massive controller. You graduate from playing merely casual games to more diverse games, and more complex games. This is very much how the gaming population has expanded over the years.

So you think casual games can't be diverse or complex?  Also, I own a Wii and the fact that you just compared my gaming choice to "training wheels" shows that you're just as foolish and arrogant as Jeff Bell.  It's no wonder you fall in line with this sort of statement.

Seriously this kind of idiocy needs to stop.

Agreed.
