I think his point is that hardcore nintendo fans would have bought the wii for the marios, zeldas and super smash bros but the reason the wii has done better than is predecessors is that the "non-gamers" bought it for the peripherals and were then advised to buy certain nintendo first party titles when wondering what to buy. Hence, those series will sell even more on wii. The reason there are sales boosts when certain series are released is because some fans wait for their favorite series to release before taking the plunge while the "non-gamers" keep the wii afloat for the rest of the year. |
At the very least his OP seems to be a marginalization of Wii SW. Nobody is buying a Wii to hold a wiimote or stand on a balance board. They're buying it to play games. SW and HW is a packaged deal.
I think it's pretty easy to see what his ORIGINAL implications were.
