I'm affraid a statement like that makes little sense on a hardcore gaming forum flooded by 80% Wii owners. If the Wii had no appeal, why would there be so many Wii fans on the internet? According to polls more than 50% of gamefaqs owns a Wii or will buy one. Why did Zelda sell 3.41 million copies and continues to break into the top 20? Why did Reggie spend the first hour of the conference showing 3rd and 1st party hardcore Wii games and explaining over and over that Nintendo will never stop making epic games for the "core gamer"? Why do you now think that when the ONLY casual game shown at E3 was Wii Fit? Did you bother watching the press conference or were you so ready to bash Nintendo that as soon as you saw Wii Fit you jumped right on it?
