I know that he enjoyed it, but it never changed his mind about the overall appeal or commercialism of it compared to the original Wii.

I think we might be talking about two different things entirely... I'm talking about that they were all kinda surprised they enjoyed it as much as they did, nothing more. And yes, it's apparent they have their doubts whether or not it'll have the same mass market appeal as Wii had - and I'm sure it won't.

And there in is the rub, Nintendo needs the casuals to defeat their competition. Without the casuals the Nintendo will lose 50- 60% of their consumer base.

Yeah, but I wasn't discussing whether or not Nintendo needs casuals to thrive. I was talking about the fact that these "experts" already had judged Wii U on beforehand, but was positively surprised when they tried it. Only goes to show lots in the business is biased.

And regarding whether or not Nintendo needs casuals: No they don't. If they only got good 3rd party support they'd crush both MS and SOny. If they had the same kind of 3rd party support, the games looks and runs just as good on all 3 consoles, it all comes down to 1st party games. And we know who dominates that category.
