Will RE4:Wii Edition meet sales expectations?

[Bodhesatva]

Here's another angle at this. Just recently, hardcore gamers complained that the Wii remote is too simple and dooms the system to casual "non games." Then, a hardcore Wii game is released that is actually more responsive and better controlled with the Wii remote instead of a traditional game pad, and now the complaint is that hardcore games are too easy to beat on the system. There's no way to win!

Honestly, I've said this before, but I am still amazed that game pads have remained an industry standard for so long. It's attacked from both sides: casual players think the controls are awkward and unintuitive, while hardcore players think they are imprecise and technically inferior for skilled play (there's a reason why 90% of professional gaming takes place on PCs, despite the fact that it represents less than 10% of the market, and it isn't that PC gamers are just "so much better").
