...I knew who you were referring to...I really wanted to know what makes him the authority on the Wii.  He doesn't even work there anymore.  By the way, he's already been mocked in this thread:

Out of all the people I know who own a wii, this is true. They no longer use it, or use it very infrequently. I'd say he knows more about the gaming industry than either one of us, therefore it'd be naive to ignore his opinion.

Well, since you know all ~70 million Wii owners, this conversation's done then.  Oh wait...you don't.  The total playtime hours for many games keeps increasing (including Wii Fit).  Fact.  Wii sells a hell of a lot of software.  Fact.  I'd say facts are move reliable than your opinions, therefore it'd be naive to ignore them.  

In the UK, the adverts are presented by female celebrities aimed at middle aged women....It says anyone can use it, but the adverts are more aimed at women then men. Again, not really something that can be argued.

I don't live in the UK, nor do I care enough to look up the commercials for your region.  In the US I see commercials with EVERYONE using it.  Consider your point argued.

No, the wii has hardware limitations as it's GPU and CPU suck, and it's awful in terms of being a media center, something which the 360 is more than capable of being, and something the PS3 excels at. There is a massive power difference between the PS3 and the wii, whereas with last gen, the difference was very little.

And again, it's had a motion controller since it launched.  As for the media center argument...and???  The Wii is a video game console.  Who says it has to excel at being a media center?  

What are you on about? Those links are very dated and reguardless, Reggie said the wii is aimed for a younger audience - end of point, unless you really, really think you know better than the offical spokesman of Nintendo....

Dated?  I gave you a link to the official Nintendo website.  Unless you really, really think you know more than Nintendo themselves...

If you claim Mario is good, you are saying the genre has barely developed in two decades. Is that what you are claiming?

Huh?  I'm not sure I follow that sentence...  But if you're saying that Mario is platforming at its finest, then you're right!  

I'm repeating what people who have worked in the gaming industry have said, as well as going with my own expereince. Is that really foolish or trolling?

Read: an unknown ex-dev and your friends.  It's silly to say the least.

Sorry, but you showed you were incapable of reading my earlier posts so I shan't reply to you as you clearly are not going to read whatever I put, but just reply with flame-bait answers with no actual depth.

It does not matter if you think a game is good or great. You are not the only person in the market place. The people that have purchased the software will tell you otherwise. Games appeal to different groups of people. If you do not like a game then maybe that game is not for you. But it does not mean that other people can not enjoy the game and think it's a quality title. Those games that you've mentioned are also outselling just about every game on the HD platforms also.

As for you last statement about how it's not clear if good software boost the sales of the Wii. Just go back to 2008 when Brawl, Mario Kart, and Wii Fit were released. That's the biggest Year the Wii has had so far. Oh, and let's not forget Monster Hunter 3 in Japan and New Super Mario Bros. in every region. You are on a sales site and should know this information already. I should not have to do your research for you
