No this time, the console is actually focusing on non gamers and trying to get them to buy stuff. E3 showed that Nintendo's focus is not for traditional gamers anymore. There was one announcement of a traditional game and the whole rest of the conference was about the casuals and the success with that.

Also where is the 3rd party support? I thought there was going to be a flood of 3rd parties supporting the Wii now that it's selling the most. Yet every third party thing that I've heard so far I already knew and a lot of them are either smaller games or casual games as well

No, most of the games they showed were "hardcore". Not only from them, but from 3rd party as well.

And the Wii has the biggest list of 3rd party exclusives so far -with the great majority being "hardcore" games.

Most of them being mediocre games and licensed stuff. Don't even start telling me the Wii is getting better 3rd party games than the 360 or the PS3.

Also I can see WiiFit selling, but does it really bring anything new to people? It's not like Wii Sports where you are simulating playing actual sports in motion which was totally original and unheard of before. Do you really need the Wii to exercise on a mat? not really....

I don't think it will be as successful as the Wii Sports phenomenon and I think they should have gone with separate Wii Sports version that go deeper into each sport and focused on that. As in Wii Baseball as a full game, Wii Tennis as a full depper game.

WiiFit is only an excuse for people to exercise, it doesn't make the Wii any funner. Wii Sports does that.
