^^^ MY POINT EXACTLY

Oh, and alfredofroylan, nice personal attack... Too bad I wasn't at a mall...

Simple solution.  If you want to see quality games at Target, you have to start purchasing the highest quality Wii games Target has to offer.  Target's sales numbers tell them what their customers want to buy, and it's apparent that Target customers like shovelware.  If quality games start to move at Target, then they will stock more quality games, but for now quality games simply don't sell well at Target (that or there's a much higher proffit margin for shovelware titles).

Here is an example... Let's say some guy around 17 walks into target... His name is Dave, and he is a casual gamer... He goes in to the games section and looks at the covers of the games... He already has CoD5, Guitar Hero/Rock Band and Madden '09, and he doesn't want mario, because he thinks it's too kiddy (not me, but this is commonly construed). So he looks through the case with a quick glance, looking for something that looks cool, and mature... He looks at the catalouge on the OP...

CURRENT SITUATION:
He  can't find anything but the closest thing he can find is the Incredible Hulk (an obviously TERRIBLE game)... He only wants it because he loved the movie so darn much. He buys it, goes home and plays it... He doesn't like it and feels burned that the game is so bad. He either
  A. Makes a false judgement about Wii games in general and sells his console, making Ninty's oppurtunities to sell him any more games useless, and maybe buys another system, or
  B. Avoids purchasing games period, waiting to get one from his [Casual] girlfriend for Christmas or his birthay... She makes the same mistake, and wash, rinse, repeat.

IF WE PUT IN ONE GAME instead of "Imagine: Babyz", such as:

Then... Dave sees the game. Likes the cover, it looks "mature" to him. He likes the idea of lightsaber-type devices. The cool cover doesn't necessarily sell it to him, but it catches his eye, and as a casual gamer, he considers it (Probability of him getting a good game improves with the number displayed) He buys and takes the game home. He really likes the game. He either:
  A. stops being a casual and (in theory), buys more games, and truly begins to like videogames, or
  B. remains a casual player, but has more faith in buying a Wii game, keeps his console, and maybe buys a game every 3-4 months. He also tells his friends, and they buy the game, and, either they no longer remain casual gamers, or they have the same feeling Dave has...

So do you get it now? If not, I can do the "Mom" segment of the examples...

Well i see a lot of games core gamers would get like shaun white, guitar hero, rock band, de blob, wwe/smackdown, & a bunch of nintendo games so i don't see the problem.

It would be nice if no more heroes was there but what r u gonna do.

Shaun White          = Casual
Guitar Hero            = Casual
Rock Band              = Casual
WWE/Smackdown  = Casua (reviews point to shovelware)
De Blob                  = Core-casual

reviews point to an above average game, the last one was boderline shovelware on the Wii, but not this one

The reason "core" games don't sell so good on the Wii is beacuse....... you guessed it... there are no damn 3:rd partyy "core" games or atleast not many, but that will change next year when the games that have been developed for 2 years will be released.

BTW that's pretty much how the PS2 shelves looked like during it's peak.

So ur telling me core gamers don't play any of those 5 games?

I can't tell what's more failed in this thread - The fact that stores don't show off third party games(as the pics show), or the fact that the TC thinks Fire Emblem is 3rd party.

I was looking through there again and there were some hardcore games. I don't see the problem.
