No offense but this gen Sony risked the credibility of their brand for the sake of Blu Ray. No one can dispute this.

Not exactly. Casuals exist, but core gamers carry the intitial and lifetime sales of hot titles on the 360 and PS3. The Wii is the only system where your statement holds true and the casuals dominante whilst the core are dwindling.

FIRST BOLDED.

The thing is, us "core gamers" are the industry as a whole whether you like it or not. We have been buying games, we will continue buying games in the future. This is the industry as a whole and what helps the industry as a whole are GTA, MGS, Halo, Uncharted, GT, Gears, LBP, Bioshock, Call of Duty, WoW, Assassins Creed, Dragon Age, Demons Souls, Mass Effect, Splinter Cell Conviction.....as you see ive listed many multi million selling games in a variety of genres produced and developed by multiple studios an dpublished by multiple publishers....thus, the overarching industry to the market which has built and will continue to support said inudtsry in an unwavoring way.

SECOND BOLDED.

Which is what i fear as a gamer that the wii doesnt cater too, pecisely.

The wii games that ar eknown by "everyone" as you say are.....Wii sports, Wii fit, Wii sports resort and Mario Galaxy, zelda and metroid.

I still fail to see how this has saved the industry as a whole when the majority of the new penetration and Wii software sales help nintendo moreso than anyone.

If anything, your argument about companies "learning" from nintendo eventually cut out the vast majority of small dev's, or dilute other genres because if the Wii had its way in the market devs would be forced into making games which are bought by the increasingly penetrated demographic which the Wii has established, thus turning the industry into a one trick pony.

Scared that Nintendo was just focused on games instead of DVD's like Microsoft and Sony.

Why would i be scared? Nintendo doesnt offer me what i want, so i go to Sony or MSFT for my demands. But the argument at hand, which you conveniently arent participating in, is "risk" and "innovation" in terms of the industry as a whole and perhaps its implication of the aforementioned.

So if your point was to try to bait me into a pissing match you were moderately successful in getting me to quote you. If your intention was to add something to the discussion above a slugs IQ level, you failed.

Sorry, but the core gamers are a much smaller segement of the market than you believe, it is the "casuals" "nongamers" which are the major market for gaming, and for them, those games you noted aren't the best known titles.

They help Nintendo mostly, because other companies have yet to wise up to the desires of the larger market, they believe that they can toss out any game and expect it sell on the Wii, what they don't get is that Nintendo has designed its games to target the larger market more effectively

No. Hardcore carry the weight on HD platforms. The best selling games on each platform are shooter games or games with heavy shooting elements (RE5, GTAIV). Thus RPGs failing on all consoles so far this gen (until FFXIII of course)

If the title said 'A console manufacturers executive said something stupid' it would have meant the same.

First of all you're not arguing my point. Second of all Mass Effect, Fallout 3 and and Oblivion all sold well and are WRPG's. JRPG's are the sub genre that is at risk until Final Fantasy XIII comes out. 

PS3 has zero games that sold over 10 million ,360 has only one, even combining multiplat sales you have only the games selling over 10 million on the HD twins, Halo 3, Modern warfare and GTA 4, by comparison PS2 had five 10 million sellers on its own
