word of mouth and social media is what drove nintendo from "leaving the industry" to "leading the industry".  you can deny it all you want, you'll still be wrong.  i've talked to plenty of casual to non-gamers about xbone.  they came to ask me cause they know i follow gaming so closely to basically ask "is it as bad as i've been hearing?". 

the news is out there, especially amoung the 30 and under crowd that is the main audience that would by an xbone.

Yes, the Wii worked. POST. LAUNCH. And it didn't filter outwards from the hardcore either. At this point in the cycle, no one except the Nintendo core were hyped for the Wii.

Your circle of friends is not representative. This is what I'm trying to say. We're all in the core bubble where everything we do or see seems massively important.
