Well, it is certainly aimed at a larger market, but I enjoy my Wii very much. I wouldn't exactly consider myself a "casual" gamer.

It's for everyone, that is why the Wii is winning the console war.

Hardcores and casuals can love Super Mario Galaxy.

Casuals can love Wii Sports.

Hardcores can love Madworld.

I can't tell if you are kidding...

1) No More Heroes 2.
2) Red Steel 2.
3) Monster Hunter Tri.
4) Super Mario Galaxy.
5) Metriod: The Other M.

(There's a sticky in the Wii threads if you wish to see more, but these are my most anticipated games for 2010).

All I'm getting for my PS3 is God of War and maybe Last Guardian as of now.

Casual gamers = gamers who actually has a life, a job, a wife/girlfriend, and commitments outside just playing games.

The games you're playing has nothing to do with your gaming status.
There are probably hardcore Wii bowling gamers.

The amount of garbage titles is another matter though.
The best selling system always gets the most garbage, same with Playstation 1/2.

dead wrong actually, i have been gaming for 24 years, i have clocked more than 112 games since january 2007 on my 360 (check out my gamercard) and i play the wii a fair bit now,i am obviously not a casual gamer, so clearly the wii isn't just for casual gamers is it.

This. IMO, a player is either "casual" or "hardcore" depending on how much they care for gaming, not what kind of games they play. If someone spent a lot of time playing Wii Sports in order to get their rank up, then yes, they could technicially be "hardcore."

My lord, we don't need evidence to prove that the sun revolves around the Earth, we all know it's true! (sarcasm aside, yeah, the Wii does have a casual focus, but that's not to say that there's enough in there for hardcore gamers too.)

To an extent. I don't really like the terms "hardcore" and "casual" as both are simply words thrown around without meaning. Like when I said that there were "few hardcore games on console." I wasn't saying that all console games are casual (they aren't,) but consoles lack niche titles that I would consider "hardcore" (such as Arma, Operation Flashpoint (the original,) Hearts of Iron 3 and DCS: Black Shark.)

Because Metroid Prime=Metroid the other M.:roll:

I can see Red Steel 2 being a flop but not the new Metroid.

You also got a weird definition of Flop.

GS on Metriod Prime (the original)
It's not just one of the single most atmospheric games ever created, but it's also quite simply one of the best.Gamespot
- score 9.7 GS on Metriod Prime 2 (Echoes)
Echoes stands shoulder to shoulder with its predecessor, delivering absolutely everything you'd want from a new 3D Metroid adventure.Gamespot
- 9.1 [QUOTE="Gamespot]If you expected Metroid Prime 3: Corruption to be a high-quality continuation of the series, you'd be right.

-8.5 And, as the poster above me said, Other M isn't a Metriod Prime game. (and how is 8.5 a bad game?)

The wii isn't exactly popular among the 'gamers'.
Wii is for nongamers, exgamers, retro gamers, flash/phone casual gamers, gamers with less time, who just like to have fun, or wanted something different, etc.

and the previous killzone scored scored 6.9, so your point is invalid, killzone 2 proves you cannot predict the score for a game based on its predessesor, so your post is the only flop here
