Why does EGM hate the wii?

It is simply because these magazine's are steered towards hardcore gamers. Hardcore gamers are who buy the magazine. The wii has very few games that appeal to the HC masses hense they don't get much screen time. Rightfully so if you ask me. Nintendo needs to stop with this ridiculous casual market stuff and do something for those who actually like full games to play. The wii's best selling games are titles that are nothing but collages of mini games (Wii Sports, Wii Play,Wii Fit, Wii Sports Resort?). It has a very abismal line up of games to come for the rest of it's life span that do not deal with something that is already established (Mario, Zelda, AnimCross, Wii Title collage of mini games). There games tend to not add anything new from one another either.

 

 Wii Sports 27.99
 Wii Play 14.40
 Mario Kart Wii 7.33
 Wii Fit Nintendo 6.93
 Super Mario Galaxy 6.86
 Super Smash Bros Brawl 6.72

 Nintendos best selling games seems to be a mix of games that would appeal to the core gamer and mini game collections for the casuals. Don't let that get in the way of the conclusions you are jumping to though.
