Nintendo hoping to bring core gamers back with Wii U

“With the Wii, we wanted to bring in as many new users as possible and have them experience the games, but as a consequence, I think a lot of the core gamers felt that it wasn’t for them, and they started moving away. With the new console and the new controller, we definitely want to bring core gamers back and create new gamers as well. So, with the Wii U, we hope that the players who were introduced to gaming for the first time on the Wii will step it up and become core gamers themselves.” - Nintendo's Katsuya Eguchi

With how they're treating the Wii right now, you'd think it was the other way around. Making they're hoping to sabotage the Wii so they can aim for a more dramatic come back with the Wii U? Who knows
