TL;DR at bottom.
__________________________________________________________________
Now we all know we as the "Casual" gamer's console designed for a few people on a weekend to just play when they're bored with no achievements or any fun in the one player story (I admit there is some exceptions). Personally when I first heard the wii coming out I thought "Intense graphics, Great sensor and anyone who plays gun games will love it"
Notice Wii's advertisements are all directed on multiplayer.
But of course with Sony and Microsoft to fight with on the market Wii made it a family console which, I admit, undoubtedly has made sales soar. Then possessing earlier Nintendo characters combined them to make a few good games. But despite that in real figured 80% of games on Wii are just horrible casual games.
I'll give you an example.
Ninja reflex
I played this game I really did and it is the worst game on wii I have ever played. This game made vomit look good. It's about 5 mini games smashed together with Ninja's to sell. You have to earn belts from the mini game and the reward when you get all belts...YOU RESTART. The max time anyone has probably played this game is half an hour. The first 10 minutes is pretty good. You just play the 6 mini games since that is all you have to do. Then...there is nothing. If you managed to complete the game you must be crazy (Like me). I struggled to keep my eyes open and that was harder then the mini game.
So now here's the question could you see Wii as a hardcore gamers console. I personally could. The way the Wii operates has many ways it could open up and with a few graphic fixes I think it would be amazing.

TL;DR?
Would Wii as a gamer's console work? When I say gamer's I mean Ultimate graphics, Guns, Racing and single player.
Could you?

I think that it would be good if they got good games going for the wii in those genres, such as CoD is already doing.
The racing games I have played on the wii are hard to control as you must hold the wii remote sideways and turn it. It seems to be ultra-sensitive to that sort of motion. I have the F1 2009 game, and it is pretty good as a racing game. Normally I won't buy racing games unless there intense simulator or officially licensed by a racing series, which F1 is.
