They haven't abandoned the casual gaming market, they've conquered it and now they're moving up the tier where Microsoft and Sony have retreated and where those two may meet their doom. See http://classic-web.archive.org/web/20080325182052/http://mal...

I've gotten used to dismissing people who dismiss Nintendo's next things as mere gimmicks. "It's a toy" is often the hardest criticism: well so what, we're talking about video games not deadly weapons.

Nintendo releases the Wii, Wii stalls next-gen consoles by shifting the focus of other companies to create movement sensing peripherals. The Wii moves on to the next market, that is some good strategy right there.
