The Wii Gets Hardcore in 2009

According to Cammie Dunaway, executive v.p. of sales and marketing at Nintendo of America, the Wii will become hardcore in 2009. With releases of games like Sin and Punishment 2, The Conduit, Mad World and Punch Out there is a very good potential to reach out to some new gamers who have previously felt as if the Wii had nothing to offer them. Nintendo is trying to get the point across that their console has a little something to offer everyone. Now Cammie Cunaway went on to say that Sega's upcoming Wii shooter The Conduit will show gamers a whole new world of graphical possibilities for the Wii.

Maybe I'm missing something, but i really don't get it. I have seen the screenshots and it looks rather unimpressive to me, even for the Wii. No matter how they put the games together, the Wii has no chance against the big two powerhouses. Nintendo didn't design the Wii with graphical power in mind. They designed it with gameplay and the controller in mind.
