This, pretty much exactly.

I'm not trying to be a troll, but I'd rather play Modern Warfare, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Halo, etc then Wii Fit, Wii Sports, etc.

There are still great games to be had on Wii like NSMBW, SMG and MP3 but most of their games are too casual for me.

This isn't asking how you feel.

You know when they see a perceived opening they can't resist.

Such an easy answer. Because the Sony and MS told them too be fans of HD.

Upon fortnight(yes I know 15 days, i'm having fun) ago the light of Sony proclaimed that such the games are important, upon this new generation Sony shepard doust declare that idols of graphics and the sword be what is good. And so the sheep follow the new light. The light of Sony then proclaims that it is not games are important and that the beggar Nintendo the whore of babylon be stoned. And thust the stoning began.

ANyways have fun, but the answer is that most people like others to think for them. There are way too many cults to prove it's true. Some big, some small, but most of them don't like the idea of people who think for themselves and would prefer that all answers come from a spokesman. Console gamers, movie/tv watchers, readers, sports players, scientists, you name it it's there.

Because it promised to deliver a revolution that would capture and entice everyone and then failed to? That's my take anyway.

Just know that Nintendo cannot win. Here's some stuff I archived from past forum posting:


Naznatips:
"People, maybe you can't tell cause you weren't there, but the mainstream gaming press hates Nintendo. It's not something grounded in logic. They complain about Nintendo not showing enough hardcore games, but when they do they complain about 3rd parties getting no attention. Nintendo fills their booth with half 3rd party and half 1st party games, and then the media complains that Nintendo didn't have enough good stuff of their own to show. They announce sequels to games that will NEVER sell as well as Wii series games, just for the Hardcore (SMG2, Metroid, Golden Sun), and people still complain.

As an all-platform gamer who just spent 4 days in a row with these people, allow me to present you with a shocking revelation: the press is biased.

Another random post:
"A good product is marketed like this: "Hey, look at all of these cool bells and whistles that you'll get if you buy [product]! [Product] is awesome!"

Most of the "test games" for the Wii from third parties have been marketed to core Wii gamers like this: "Buy [product] if you want to see more of [product category]. And we swear that the next [product] will be better than this half-hearted effort! All we need are sales of this one!"
Do you see what's wrong with this picture? Third parties are marketing their core-market "test games" to nobody. The only incentive that they present for buying one of these "test games" is to see other games on the core market. They think that consumers (core-market consumers in particular, but also consumers in general) are stupid enough to throw their money away on a product that has no discernable benefit to them except for a vague promise of something better in the future that you'll have to pay even more money for.

Basically, they're approaching the whole concept wrong. If they had released a game that consumers wanted for its own benefits, they would have succeeded. But this "test game" garbage is nothing more than negative marketing, and time and again the sales numbers have shown that it doesn't work because consumers are too smart to fall for it. And then, each and every time, the developers or publishers of the "test game" wring their hands and state, "Look! There's no market for core games on the Wii!"
In reality, they're just self-fulfilling their own dire prophecies."

And from Nintendo expert, Sean Malstrom.
"The “Game Industry” wants Nintendo to abandon its disruptive ways and return to the traditional core ways. While third parties say a Wii HD allows them to easily port over their game, this is also a lie. The “Game Industry” froze the Gamecube even though it had the same install base as the Xbox. Gamecube was deliberately left out.

And as this generation began, the “Game Industry” declared either further niche of Nintendo or its outright destruction as a console company. All analysts “agreed” that Nintendo would be last place. It is clear that the “Game Industry” wants Nintendo to be a game company, but not a console company. They want Nintendo to make Mario and Zelda and port it to all the systems."

Nintendo was increasingly isolated. Hilariously, the increase of Nintendo’s isolation was blamed on Nintendo. Many people believed this. No matter how far Nintendo would go with making development easier, with reaching out to third parties, with even allowing third parties to make games using their IPs, the console was consistently frozen. Remember that the Dreamcast, also, was easy to develop for. None of that mattered."

Anyway, it's because hard core games just don't sell on the Wii.

Wrong. The press that hates the Wii never believed in that anyway. They just used the system not meeting it as another excuse to bash it.

bullshit, The press does not hate the wii, stop your blubbering and poor me mentality and get on with life

Because HD fans and developers and publishers are full of hate for the console, it came out of nowhere and crushed their dreams, and then backed up and crushed them again.

right now the HD market is dying, and they all know it, so they rage
