I think he meant to say is that MS wants more of the casual audience and doesn't care as much about the hardcore gamer anymore. I mean what company would most sales come from casual consumers, not the internet nerds typing in forums every single day.

Pretty much... The casual fanbase is much much bigger...

Also with Kinect and those Sports tittles they could sell to the hundred milions (bilions?) of obese/overweight around the World.

Believe it or Not i know from ALOT of people who bought Wii just for Fitness because they were out of shape...

Guess what ? They still out of shape. LOL

People should know that Cardio and Lift is the best way to get Fit not videogames... But hey this is the World we Live and Kinect has sold 20m, Wii 100m and most for people like these.

I'm pretty sure you can get a cardio workout from an exercise "video" game.  I belive the Nike + for Xbox 360 and Kinect does this.  I'm pretty sure I even read about a professional athlete who gave it his endorsement of approval.  Not as a paid endorsement, but his personal opinion of the product. 

So, no.  The Wii Fit might not really rise to the level of a cardio workout, but I wouldn't suggest Kinect isn't capable of helping to provide one.
