It makes you wonder if they didn't just release the pad as an upgrade accessory to the Wii if that would have helped. Prob is the pas would have required a HW upgrade regardless. Something like the Fit was a good upgrade because the console could support it. The pad is tricky in that it forces the casuals to upgrade, and they may not want to in most cases. The Wii was cut short of its actual lifetime, and I agree with pro-casual strategists in that regard.
Another thing I know is that casuals won't be too interested in WiiFit like experiences because many people own it and don't or haven't made much use of it, so they provs have little confidence in the brand and product. On the casual side it looks grim. But the portion of the casual side that bought into NSMB Wii will be a big client of the U, as that interest is thoroughly catered to right from launch. I also agree with pokoko that the promise of core market support holds much promise, if executed correctly, but for some reason I doubt it will be done justice. I have confidence in the U, as long as 3rd party attitude is more Nintendo-positive this time around.
