What about you guys try to use a little imagination and work out the meaning of the word "sarcasm" really? Catching every even pointless speech figure instead of focusing on the whole picture. Ofcourse you can buy Wii Fit and I can hardly know if you are or are not fat, also noone assume that if you've bought Wii Fit, you have to be fat.
Insulting my age won't really help you, my posts have atleast some substance, the only addition to the discussion apart from starting this thread were offended quotes of someone that missed the point. I'm 23 btw.

Honestly I don't sense sarcasm, more like anger from your posts. Like you actually hate the fact you bought the console and now are taking it on wii casual crowd. Also for a 23 year old, you shouldn't be calling anyone chubby bastards even in sarcastic way.
I think some people's sarcasm detectors need fixing...
The most popular console always has the most shovelware. The PS2 was the king of shovelware. Store shelves were lined with PS2 shovelware during its heyday.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

And that's a fact, of this whole console generation Wii has the largest userbase share of nongamers / first-time console owners. If you take a look at the sales of casual shovelware crap and "hardcore" games, the shovelware rock it. |
There is a huge problem with your argument.
If I look at the list of best selling games, I see games. That's a fact.
You also suggested, that all or many of these games are "casual shovelware crap".
This is not a fact. You can't prove that even one of these games are either "casual", or "shovelware", let alone "crap".

Whilst you're right, none are shovelware crap, the bolded can be played by previously non-gamers quite easily and are highly accessible (the main advantage of most of Nintendo games). Also, compare to the top 10 games on the HD consoles and you'll see some glaring genre differences, so this depends greatly on a person's definition of casual and shovelware.

Where did I stated that in the top 10 of Wii Bestsellers, there are casual sw crap games?
Now that you've posted that top10 here, I might have to revise my previous statement in the line above! Yes there are crappy casual shovelware games, and they were produced by allmighty Nintendo itself. Seriously, anyone saying that Wii Play isn't the recently stated is delusional. And we can polemise about some others (Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Mario and Sonic, Mario Party, Wii Sports Resort) - these games are definately casual by definition (It's arguable if some of them are even games in the true meaning).
But seriously, when I said that on the Wii there is a majority of crappy games, I ment that they are targeted at the new casual audience. There might be quality titles which doesn't appeal to everyone, like Wii Music, but my main concern is that games like Game Party and Carnival Games (which are but utter crap with meta ratings around 20-50%) can sell OVER 3 and a HALF MILION copies. And that dear friend, won't happen on any other home console.
