Well at any rate, I think you can see how poorly this comparison is going for the Wii by this point.
At any rate there are another 20 Wii Games and 44 PS3 games to go before we get down to Wii Sports and its Game Rankings score of 76.562. Including Heavenly Sword which has a quite respectable review score of 80.659 by comparison. There are 23 PS3 games with scores between those of Super Paper Mario and Heavenly Sword and only 7 Wii games in that range.
There are 12 Wii Games and 20 PS3 games that come between Heavenly Sword and Wii Sports with a Game Rankings score of 76.562. It seems like the only thing that you were right about is that Wii Sports has a higher score than Folklore which only has a Game Rankings score of 75.825. There are no Wii Games and 3 PS3 games that have a Game Rankings score between Wii Sports and Folklore.
To put it bluntly, anyone can see from these numbers that the PS3 simply decimates the Wii as far as the number of high quality games for each system goes and that the Wii simply does not deserve to be selling in the numbers that it does.

You put a lot of effort on your claim that Wii games are crap. I just read the last sentence because I don't have the time to read all that.
Basically, according to you, since the average ratings from video game critics are better for the games on PS3 are better than those of the Wii, people shouldn't buy the Wii. I think you put too much faith in those critics.
It's really easy to see why Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit and Wii Music sells better than a lot of PS3 games. Just ask youself why it sells better and you will get the answer (hint: it reaches a new, broader audience).
