I feel that its like it, its the moment I think that will decide what console win the console war, yeah, the Wii wins in terms of sales but theres still the casuals falacy that still in gamer's minds.

I doubt Nintendo really cares about some oddball perception in "gamer's minds".

The whole "crybaby gamer" scenario that is playing out is like a spoiled two year old that gets a new baby brother in the house.

Really though, one can talk about videogames easier with a random person now than you could five years ago.  That's great.  Who really cares if we are all playing the same games.

 

Back to topic though:  the defining moment  was the introduction Wii-mote.  Not that the defining moment is everything.  They also have excellent branding (one syllable), low cost hardware (that they haven't cut the price on yet,), 100% penetration of unique peripherals in their userbase (Wii-mote/Nunchuk), and a very fast selling periheral (Wii Fit).
