but thats my point it DOESNT have games that appeal to me, at least not that much, all those games I mentioned appealed to me and were not on Ninty systems, among many others that never made it to the system and if they did they were much worse versions, which who would want to play that if they have and option to not to? You cant just put "open world game number 371" on the system like its a subsitute for missing GTA IE. Thats not how it works and thats not what people will respond to. And I know im not the only one who feels that way, the sales for the software and home consoles speak for themselves, as for the games I didnt want IE the shovelware nothing wrong with that but to pretend like those games didnt dominate that system is straight lying.

Ok, since when were we talking about your personel preferences?

Your original statement was that Wii had more casual games than it had core games, im saying that really shouldnt matter to anyone smart enough to make an informed opinion of their own.

If someone is interested in Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter, Xenoblade, MadWorld, Fatal Frame, Conduit, No More Heroes, etc. than what difference does it make that Wii also had games like Just Dance, Carnival Games, Zumba Fitness, Big Brain Academy, etc?

Look back at my original post that you quoted, i never said anything about Wii having more core games than casual games, my whole point was that the popular opinion that Wii lacked core games is nothing more than a myth.

It lacked the popular core games of its day. Call of Duty was not the "real" Call of Duty on other platforms, no Assassin's Creed, no Elder Scrolls, no GTA, etc. etc. 

For a system that sold 100 million units I think there's only three total million-selling "core audience" games on the Wii from third parties -- Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, and I think COD3 just got over 1 million. Maybe Red Steel too? Oh wait there was Monster Hunter Tri. 

Grand Theft Auto V on the XBox 360 alone may have sold more than every "core" third party game on the Wii, lol, it wouldn't shock me. There was a relatively small market for non-Mario/Zelda "core" games on the Wii ... Metroid Prime 3, Xenoblade, Sin & Punishment 2, The Last Story, etc. probably all would've sold about the same on the GameCube.
