in conclusion the year was heavily dominated by nintendo, it seems to me that casual gaming is on the up, and games that be played and enjoyed by familys and freinds, in a relaxed and socialble environment. From personal experience it seems that non gamers also enjoy playing on the wi for its fun and relaxed aproach. Of course hardcore gamers still contribute with Call Of Duty and Red Dead Redemption been heavy hitters but maybe the tides are changing.
