This is what Nintendo has realized ahead of its competitors -- that the general public sees even hardcore traditional videogames as kids' games. Something like Brain Age or Wii Fit is much more relevant to most peoples' lives and ambitions. Even when it comes to fun fantasy entertainment, accessible sports and music games have a broader appeal than attractive-hero-with-incredible-weaponry and RTS games. It doesn't make them better games as such, and there is still room for hardcore games on the Wii, but the Nintendo strategy is to aim at EVERYONE this generation and it seems to be working.
