Hey, lets not get into a debate about what a true gamer is.

I'm just gonna point out its evident a vast majority of console gamers prefer playing games on a gamepad. The core gamers Wii had early on jumped ship. Also, the Wii has faded into obscurity more quickly than its competitors inspite of superior console sales. Maybe Wii didn't live up to the "dream" and that is part of the reason why Wii U is a failure.

"a vast majority of console gamers prefer playing games on a gamepad."

what do you think the wii mote + nunchuck is?

"The core gamers Wii had early on jumped ship"

Absolutely wrong. software sales prove it.

"Also, the Wii has faded into obscurity more quickly than its competitors inspite of superior console sales"

wii stopped selling when it stopped getting new releases. and there's no point in ignoring the slow start of the competitors.

The Wiimote + Nunchuck not a standard gamepad. That's why the Wii pro controller is a thing.

The software sales show Wii had massive decline of core software sales. Wii did a pretty good job at moving core IPs early on but it didn't last.

Wii stopped getting new releases because software sales were doing poor outside of casual and 1st party stuff. Hence, support died as the audience abandon ship and they didn't return to Wii U.

You're attempting to rewrite history to defend the Wii. I'm sure most people will agree with me because I'm spittin facts.
