There's no Wii new "casual" user that would upgrade to any of the two other consoles. Only viral marketers/astroturfers/shills like jasonnc80 above, which are so obvious to spot, would "upgrade".
These people are annoying because they always spit the same crap nonsense, and as it's pure BS, add no valuable information. You can spot them easily too : "I'm a huge Nintendo fans since years, but got bored by the lack of games on Wii, and upgraded to XB360".

Anyway, MS does the right thing to try, but unfortunately, they aren't doing it right.
What Nintendo is doing is not making casual games, that's nonsense that those saying them, actually believe their own BS. Nintendo targets the downmarket, and is moving upstream then. These games from MS are already in the upmarket.
People mix downmarket with casual, they will be disappointed, I'm sure.
Before trying to pull people from the Wii, they need to understand Nintendo's strategy, and they clearly don't. I just hope for them that this is not their secret weapon against the Wii, or the failure will be even more epic.

What's interesting, is that they're already starting to alienate their own upmarket consumers, like the predicted behaviour of competitors which are targets of a disruption strategy.

hahahahahhahaahahahahahahhaahahahah

You have got to kidding me. There are many things I've been called before in my life but a shill for microsoft is definitely not one of them.

Want me to show you my original NES I've had for over 20 years? Or the SNES? I still have my receipt from the two Wii's me and my friend waited outside target for on launch night. I can also show you the library of gamecube games I have even though I don't have a system to play them on. Remember the part when I said I would rebuy a Wii later on when there were more games to purchase and the system was cheaper?

Get a life guy, just because somebody has different tastes as your own doesn't make them a shill. Kudos to you for enjoying your Wii. I'm happy for you and I'm not being sarcastic. But don't assume a person is something they are not just because the have a different "taste" in gaming as your own.

Haven't you also said that the Wii would just "be rehashes of franchises I've been playing for almost 20 years."? You also said that "fans of video games" will "upgrade". That's why you got called a " viral marketers/astroturfers/shills like jasonnc80 above, which are so obvious to spot". I believe it's true because you made the ridiculous claim that true fans will "upgrade".
