I think a lot of people are assuming that everyone WANTS innovative controls. I actually don't. I think Wii is a great system for what it is, but it certainly isn't my idea of gaming (mostly due to motion controls, I much prefer the Xbox controller. I don't want to have to move my body to play)
Also I think that there are certain types of games that will just always be on superior hardware. Do you seriously think that if the Wii was dominating when Gears Of War was being conceptualized, they would have developed it for Wii? Not a chance (in my opinion). I'll admit, part of what made Gears so amazing was it's visuals. (that, and the chainsaw bayonet)
Now don't go and tell me that I'm a Wii hater, and that all I care about is graphics. I own almost every Nintendo system available. My NES gets more use than my PS3. I understand that gaming isn't all just graphics. But if we want to keep pushing the limits(graphics, huge immersive worlds, physics) we need powerful hardware, and the Wii just doesn't impress in that area.
