Well, he's right. Until N64 "hardcore gamers" were on Nintendo's side, playing the hell out of any game, easily breaking the 1000 hours playtime and breaking records and highscores.
Why shouldn't the Wii not have hardcore gamers? They may not be the same as in the past but there are still people who play a lot. And by a lot I mean breaking the 1000 hours again. I know lots of those people, mainly those who are still around and started with N64 in the highscore scene.

Nintendo actually never changed. Just the people and former fans.
Take a look at the boxes of the old consoles. They were all about family, multiplayer, etc.
Wii also is.
You could argue games became easier. But saying there are no hardcore gamers on Wii (not necessarily the same as in the past) is just another lame statement using cool words.

yep, because no one logs in that much hours on any other type of console. THere are no local MP games on the other consoles. Please.

Reggie misses the point with his first statement it doesnt matter how much hours one logs in. YOu could log that much in solitaire. 

Its about the games, which WII missed alot of, but they seem to be fixing that


Haha, yeah, "oh my god, a pro post, gotta blame as fanboy blabla and tell that the other consoles are AT LEAST as cool"

You are just using "core" and "casual" like every cool web-zine. Why is "hardcore" not about playtime? Oh "please".

What is core? Spending 70 million $ for development? Guns? Having started playing on SNES? Or maybe PS2, the pure core machine (not)? What is hardcore when spending TONS of time playing videogames is not? "Please". As if playing CoD or any other "AAA" title - that is funnily as successful as "casual" games and played by a lot of "casuals" - five hours a day is any more core.
