10 million units over 100 million consoles  = 10%. So working with that adoption rate, why do you think the Wii U will sell exactly the same amount as the Wii? Proportionally as it stands you're looking at what, maybe a few million sales if the adoption rate skyrockets for SSBB. 

Since when are core games easy? Core games are meant to be challenging and mature. Zelda is neither. And Mario Kart is a casual game - are you really going to compare it to Wipeout ot Forza?


I don't agree with you there =P  Dead Rising, for example, is easy (except some bosses battle) and far from mature (It does have a solid and interesting story for a zombie game), but it is a core gamer indeed.

Yeah I get what you are saying, but Dead Rising is merely comical as opposed to childish/aimed for a young audience. The guy may be running around with a daft hat, but he is still dismembering the walking dead xD 
Even if you look at LBP, it's cute etc, but ends up getting damn hard later on. I think though it's just the recognition of the average age of a gamer more than anything.

Believe it or not Mario Kart is one of Nintendo's harder franchises it is easy to beat in lower difficulties, but hard to beat in high difficulties it is not casual, I am willing to admit that Zelda is casual before I admit that Mario Kart is, using the difficulty of each franchise to determine this.

Go play Wipeout, Forza, Gran Turismo, even Burnout & Motorstorm....
Mario Kart is a casual game. It's easy, even when hard when compared to the main core racing games.
