I've said nothing? Do you really not understand? Because it's pretty fucking simple. Yes, Wii games may not have any/all of those things, that's irrelevant. An Xbox 360 disc game would be counted on Metacritic even if it didn't have leaderboards or achievements, way to miss the point.
Are Wii and 360 disc games ROMs? No. Are XBLA games ROMs? No. Are VC games? Yes.
Do you see the difference now? Jesus fucking Christ...

Actually yes Wii and 360 games are ROMs (Read-Only Memory). Can I buy the game for the system easily? If yes, then it is a game on the system. If you want to count all 90% plus games on the system then you need to count everyone that can be reasonably expeted to be easily attained. It is irrelevant whether or not the game adds anything new for the latest iteration. Should FFXIII not count for the 360 because it will exist fully on there PS3 before it exists on the 360? No, of course not. That is the ridiculous assertion you are making.

Yes, but the point he is trying to make is that it's original content. Not content that was previously released on an earlier generation platform. These XBLA games are original games released in the current generation of consoles. Wii Ware and original PSN games should be counted as well. When you're playing OOT on VC you're playing a N64 game, not a game designed for the Wii. Yes you can buy it for the platform but I can also go out and buy MGS1 to play on my PS3 or KOTOR for my 360. Opening up that can of worms totally defeats the purpose of even cataloging a list of 80%, 90% or whatever arbitrary precentage you want to use. I would think most people would agree in that assessment unless they have some other sort of agenda in proving their "platform of choice" is superior while at the same time trying to demean another.
