Gotta love the revisionist history BS about the Wii

I'm glad the whole soccer mom, casual crowd is gone to be honest. Good riddance. I think Just Dance is going to go the way of the dinosaur this year like Guitar Hero and Wii Fit will dissapoint sales wise. 

 As a Nintendo fan, we never got anything really out of this whole "we're making casual games now" bargain. All it did was chew up Nintendo's resources, the larger userbase didn't bring Nintendo any respect from third parties. We just got a bunch of crap shovelware and franchise spin-offs no one asked for.

I'm glad that Sing Party game for Wii U bombed bigger than the Hidenberg.

And what would we have got, if the Wii sold like the GameCube?

The market had grown and Nintendo was probably not dumb enough to make the same mistakes with the GameCube again, that a "GameCube 2" probably would've sold 30-40 million units if handled correctly, mostly on the back of Sony's $600 blunder and people having to go elsewhere for a while, enough to make a nice sized profit and continue making the franchises Nintendo fans actually care about.

And Nintendo became allergic to pushing games like Xenoblade because they were out chasing the casual dragon, I'm glad it's done with to be honest.

Casuals want $1 games on smartphones now? Good for them. Don't let the door hit yer ass on the way out I say. They won't be missed, nor will Zumba Fitness 234939 or Puppiez U or Hillbilly Carnival Games.
