With the more hardcore gamers, yeah, they are. They have a good casual base at the expense of losing their (former) core audience. If they want them and only them, fine. At this point they're fucked from hardcores - whether that's a positive or negative for them is yet to be seen. At this point the Wii is a fad for casual 'gamers'. If the fad breaks and the core audience wants more Halo-like games Nintendo is fucked.
The difference being, people buy and rebuy the games. If you wanted them that much you never should have sold them. Think of it this way: You own all of your favorite movies in DVD format. Are you going to go out and rebuy every single one of them in Blu-Ray (for example)? There's no point to it aside from a slightly sharper image. With the VC, you don't always get even that.
