You aren't a privileged Nintendo consumer because you own a Wii U

so let me get this straight, casuals were losing interest with those types of games on the Wii (which we already established is true, no matter the reason) so they should have made MORE of those games on a completly different system/s that cost more than the system/s they already own? So if stopped caring for those types of games on there Wii and DS they were going to care all of a sudden if they were MORE of them on Wii U and 3DS? makes no sense.

No ur twisting things around now.

They didn't lose interest in those genres, look at the total yearly hardware sales that I provided earlier, there was no massive decline in DS/Wii software which shows there was still active interest in those devices and their software. The sales just became dispersed between more and more titles instead of a select few.

In 2007, Guitar Hero III & Rock Band released.

In 2008, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: World Tour, Rock Band Track Pack, Rock Band Track Pack 2, AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack, Rock Band 2 all released.

In 2009, Guitar Hero: Metallica, Guitar Hero: Smash Hits, Guitar Hero: Van Halen, Guitar Hero 5, DJ Hero, Band Hero, The Beatles: Rock Band, Lego Rock Band, Rock Band Country Track Pack, Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock, Rock Band: Metal Track Pack all released.

As of May 2008 there were 2 instrument games, 1.5 years later there were about 20. Same goes for fitness games, dance games, party games, life simulators. The Imagine series had 6 releases in 2007, another 12 in 2008 & another 14 in 2009.

The market got over flooded so each game sold less while the overall sales remained relatively stable.

 

im not twisting anything around, you said what you said.

So the market got overflooded, fair enough. It doesnt matter if sales remained stable. Guitar Hero is a bad example what of games like Zumba or even Just Dance that went down year after year? So now we established that it was overflooded, wouldnt the Wii U and 3ds approach of LESS of those kinds of games so it wouldnt be overflooded have been a good thing? Especially since most of the releases were from the more popular ones from last gen anyway? But then you say Wii U and 3DS didnt have enough. Which is it? its either overflooded or needed more. 

 

If you don't understand that there is a healthy middle ground between over-flooded & having constant droughts than i don't know what to tell you buddy.
