most of them were casuals like i described a few posts back.

"its the 8 year old boy who plays Minecraft & Skylanders. the 12 year old girl who plays Just Dance & Style Savvy. the 19 year old college kid who plays Call of Duty or FIFA with his roommates after class. the mom who plays Mario Kart to bond with her kids. the the lapsed gamer who doesnt play nearly as much as they used to because of work/family/etc but still plays occasionally to wind down and relax. and yes its the grandma who plays Wii Fit to try getting in shape."

are you really pretending that people who bought a Wii for one game then never played again were the majority of Wii owners? sorry but they werent

Sorry but I think they were.

like Curl said, it had a similar attach ratio as PS3/360. also the fact that it was still selling pretty well through 2011 (5 years after launch) kinda disproves the argument that it was only being bought for Wii Sports.
