While I agree that the Wii has truly changed how gameplay and controls is approached, the Wii faces the problem of mediocre and poor quality 3rd party games. The top ten games sold on the Wii has been consistently 1st party Nintendo titles. The Wii is so unique in it’s controls that require a different way to thinking about gameplay mechanics. A lot of developers that failed to grasp this shift ended up just focusing on PS3 and X360.
This has resulted in the Wii game library mostly consisting of shitty movie tie-ins, some sort of gimmicky games that mimick a real life equivalent, or mini-games. Hardly any developer outside of Nintendo is making any game with decent original content.
