Today I had the pleasure of playing a PS3.  I played Motorstorm and it looked quite nice all thanks to my local Best Buy.  After playing a few songs in Guitar Hero 2 I noticed some Wii accessories and some sections cleared out for games and probably consoles but what I noticed the most was the absence of a Wii playable console station.

I thought it was probably just Best Buy since they cater mostly to casuals but after going to 5 stores including EB and Gamestop I noticed its absence everywhere and in some major retailers there wasn't even space made for it.

Which brings me to question and doubt Nintendo's strategy.  Yes the casuals know what the Wii is but they don't know what it looks like or how it plays and in my opinion people aren't going to go out and spend $250 on something thats obscure to them not matter how much I or any other actual gamer tells them how good it is.
