Perrin Kaplan, vice president of marketing for Nintendo of America, said Microsoft and Sony could be alienating many people with the expense of their consoles but also by emphasizing their elaborate games.
Some people are getting a little bored with the complexity, how deep the games are, Ms. Kaplan said. They have to do their jobs. Theyve got kids, or other interests.
Ms. Kaplan said the industry needed to appeal to a broader group. Our goal is to build the industry into something bigger, she said, adding of the industrys overall sales: We need to find a way to go up or were going to start going down.

So, because I have a child and a job, I won't want to play a complex game? The solution is a waggle stick and last generation technology?
I have no issue with the direction they took with the Wii, I even think it is pretty neat. However, why does Nintendo think they know more about gamers' tastes than the gamers themselves?
