We all know Nintendo is attracting casuals. If not for casuals, they would be in last place as hardcore, mature gamers preffer ps360. However after a few years a lot of casuals become hardcore players themselves.
This is the gateway in to gaming for a lot of people...but withing 2-3 years they will be on to MMORGP's and online FPS games.

So I don't see the next wii carrying over much of the fanbase this wii creates.

Hence I disagree.

 I don't know if some casual fans (if not majority of them) will ever become hard-core fans... and that is the rub, if they are just casual fan, will they go out and by a slightly improved graphically and control-wise console again in 7-8 years.

I never said all casuals will become MMORGP players...I just used it as an extreme example. I'll never play those games and I've played games for 20 years. :)

Also I never said all wii casuals will become hardcore players. No one is attacking the casuals here... However the line has been drawn at this point...Wii does casual gaming very well but hasn't been able to show gamers it can do an imersive  30+ hour game expereince as well as ps360. This seems to be a general consensus at this point with critics and gamers...  Its only a matter of time before "SOME" kids that are wii gamers start thinking they are badass gamers and see wii as a "lame casual machine" and decide they want to play GTA5 instead...

PS1 did everything well not just the casuals. So Ps2 was viewed as the continuation of the complete package hence why it took off like hotcakes. Wii 2 will have to do some other trick or gimmick if it wants to attrack a new audience as Wii has already proven that demographic doesn't care about upgraded graphics. Otherwise it is set to lose the marketshare for sure...
