I believe much of that success can be attributed to the larger group of Wii owners. More Wii consoles sold = more potential sales for Wii games, even if they weren't outfitted with motion controls.
|
Larger base yes, but that increased base wasn't entirely the so-called "soccer moms" who only bought it for Wii Sports/Wii Fit/Just Dance/Zumba, because those kind of consumers wouldn't be buying the likes of Twilight Princess or Resident Evil 4.

It's more likely that the increase in game sales between generations resulted from the known increase in console sales than the suggested division of casual gamers / gaming enthusiasts. So many developers flocked to the Wii because a larger userbase is directly related to a larger potential for sales.

Yes, but if that larger base had fewer "core" gamers than the Gamecube, sales of games like Zelda and Resident Evil would have decreased, not increased.

I respectfully disagree. You're implying that only gaming enthusiasts purchase Zelda or Resident Evil games, which I believe, especially in the case of the Wii, is inaccurate.
