The Wii itself isn't geared towards casuals. It was designed to appeal to more than the traditional gaming audience, big difference. The problem is that most all of 3rd party efforts are casual or youth based. Nintendo has increased it's library of casual friendly games, but NOT DECREASED it's traditional games development.
I think the biggest problem with the "hardcore" is that the definition of "hardcore" has changed significantly over the years, and Nintendo's IP's have not, and they have not really had many sucesses with the newer "hardcore" audience in their attempts (I would label Metroid Prime trilogy as a successful "hardcore" appeal personally, but not so much several other titles like Geist or Eternal Darkness, despite that some people really do think highly of the titles). |
wii's marketing is geared towards (mainly) non gamers. that's why wii sports got tons of promotion and prime 3 got next to non. |
PARTIALLY correct. Their advertising is focused on the mass market, most of their games are not.
I gotta admit though, I am VERY CURIOUS as to what a "Wii would like to play" commercial would look like with Diaster : Day of Crisis.
