OK you all exactly have a point, but thats not what Im informed about, the Wii are for casuals even New York Times have a article about it. Even the core gaming sites says it even EGM magazines says it even analysts so why all these people say the same thing?

Read my post above. A. What does NYT know about gaming anyway? Besides the article sounded like something M$ would say after releasing its quarterly report. B. In case you haven't noticed, tho whole industry, besides Nintendo, is totally lost with Wii. They don't even seem to know what it actually is. Look at the sales of the disruptive software on DS, what do you see? Million sellers. So, the "casual" buy games, when there's games for them. C. Everytime there has been a change in the industry, it's always headed towards the casual/non-gaming market. The "hardcore" today are the casuals/non-gamers that were brought to gaming during the PSX era. Cinematics in a game? Oh boy, that's like interactive movie! Cool, i want that game! While the "hardcore" of that time (i'm in that demographic) weren't so happy with the direction. Just look at PS2:s best selling games, bridged games like GT and GTA, Singstar still in the best sellers lists, Guitar Hero sells million on every platform etc...
