Yeah but Zippy the thing is, Wii meant a lot of parents could suddenly play games & enjoy them with their kids.
I have seen this myself countless times......and almost 100 million sales says I am far from alone in this.

"only Nintendo games"?
I thnk most dev would give their eye-teeth for titles (and sales) that the Nintendo classics generate.Seeing as they also have a ton of 3rd paty games to offer too they can hardly be said to lack games.
Add in the Wii U will be offering games at the current stadard (or a little better) and I don't see them having many issues there.

Those who want the laughably anal 'need to read a novel of instructions just to operate the damn thing' type game still have their PC's, PS3's & Xboxes (and I speak as someone with all of them - except a Wii).

Personally I think 'serious gaming' drove waaaaay to far up a blind alley of irrelevance to the majority.
I've been playing video games since the 1980's (loved my Commodore 64 & the number of hours spent on an Amiga isn't worth thinking about) but I am sorry to say I find a lot of what's being produced these days is just boring - not to mention absurdly over-priced (but this one applies to all of them).

The faintly ridiculously self-styled 'serious' or 'hardcore' gamers seem to hate the Wii for some reason.
Other than the ludicrous fanboy twerps whining that the object of their deepest devotion & affection lost out in sales to it I find this hard to understand as without it a lot of game studios would be having a much worse time in these difficult economic times.
