Not really. Wii SPorts was popular and it appealed to everyone, including me and every other core gamer I know when it debuted. After that, Mariokart and NSMBU were the biggest titles, and they are mainstream gamer titles. They sold 30 million. 30. The biggest chunk of gamers on the system are gamers. Games like Galaxy, Twilight Princess and Brawl did massive numbers too. Far better than the Uncharteds or Metal Gears of the world.
No, your perception is flawed. The big titles of the gen are WiiSPorts, WiiFit, NSMB, MK, COD and GTA. These are the mass market titles. After that the large "Core" titles like MarioG, Zelda, Halo, SSB and GT did very well. But the core titles did as well or better on Wii as on other systems. Beyond these titles you get into FIFA or Just Dance as big sellers, but I would hardly call FIFA a core title.

well for one those games released on a system that had a much higher install base, your perception doesnt take into account the numerous games that did WORST on WIi, COD, Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, Rayman, both Star Wars FU games etc. How do you explain those, shouldnt they have done better on Wii? If what you say is true about core gamers making up most of WII audience, why did alot of core games do worst on that system?

Because the core gamers who bought the Wii had a different taste in core games (Mario vs COD), didn't want to buy crappy versions of 3rd party franchises, or had a different system to play those games on which would offer a better version.
As far as the larger user base, the Wii had a larger one and it's popular titles sold more. I don't see how that's relevant.
