Pigeonholing Wii as a console only for casual gamers is a mistake, says Sega president Simon Jeffery. Though after澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sonic & Mario sold five million, we're not going to blame Sega 🗹for forgetting them.

"I do think going forward there is very much a place for the hardcore gamers on the Wii and there's a big opportunity for publishers to take advantage of that because we've seen the success of Resident Evil on Nintendo platforms," the Sega boss proclaimed.

"But I do also believe that a lot of Western publishers are only looking at the𒅌 Wii for casual and family gaming, and I think that's a mistake - I think there's a lot more opportunity there on the Wii. The Wii isn't just about Wii Tennis and Mario & Sonic; it's about so much more."

Grasshopper's💜 No More Heroes has racked up decent sales in the US (and is expected to do well in Europe), while Metroid Prime 3 has received the penn🌃ies of the traditional Nintendo fanbase.

But with casual games Wii Sports and Mario & Sonic making astronomical numbers on the sales sheets, is it even worth investing the time a🌞nd effort on "hardcore" Wii g♓ames? Jeffery sees no reason why they should be ignored...

"The Wii as a platform has way much more 💯to offer than [Wii Tennis and 𝓡Mario & Sonic], and hardcore gamers traditionally love Nintendo as well. There's no reason why they should be excluded or excommunicated from the Nintendo world."

We wish Sega would follow its own advice.
