What Kitler53 said. It's not a matter of casual/hardcore (stupid), it's mainstream gamers/people that spend alot of money on videogames/people that spend way too much time on the internet talking about videogames/casuals

The mainstream gamer will have a system for 6 years and buy 4 games on it. Probably a few big name games. Halo, GTA, Guitar Hero maybe, Mariokart, and be content with those. It's those mainstream gamers that make consoles successful, and increasingly the casual gamers are becoming a huge part of success. The PS2 was such a hit because everyone had one, even if it was just for a couple of sports games, or maybe GTA and Gran Turismo. Those mainstream and casual gamers are the lifeblood of the industry. We, the ones that spend way too much time and money on videogames just assume narcissistically that we are the pushing force behind the industry.

Quoted for truth. Nothing else needs to be said.

I got to the second paragraph of your post and then I realized how much of a damn I didn't give and stopped reading.

Also quoted for truth.

And what's the big deal? Not everyone is going to like the Wii, just get over it. Also, just because you and your friend both dislike the control method (whether in WiiSports or anything else), to many people, including me, it's one of the best things to happen to consoles in a long time.

Except for me it actually got me into console gaming, but is still a major breakthrough.
