You ask if people read the article, but I have to ask, did you bother reading their replies, or are you just assuming anything that has something negative to say about Nintendo is correct? The article is complaining about a phenomenon that has been in gaming since the PSone. It's called shovelware, and it always sits on the console with the dominant market share. The only reason that people are complaining about it this generation when they didn't the last 2 generations is that instead of it being on Sony consoles it's on the Nintendo console. I loved my PSone and PS2, but when I walked into a gamestop I saw a whole wall full of complete shit, and I had to dig through that to find anything worthwhile.
The Wii is no different. It caught developers off guard so of course the first few titles you will see are going to be shovelware. However, I submit to you that these games are no more crap than some generic shooter like Area 51 being made for the PS3 and 360. If you really think that the Wii will never get big games, even when it's got 50%+ of the market share, I think you are kidding yourself. I'd love to know of any leading console in the previous 4 generations of modern gaming that didn't experience the majority of 3rd party support. Nintendo getting that support is something young gamers have trouble accepting as an innevitability, simply because in the short time these kids have been gaming they have only seen Sony dominate. '
For gamers who have been around since the Atari this whole argument is a gigantic joke. For some reason all that matters to modern gamers is having the winning console and proving that theirs is the best. These people thought Sony was some invincible wall that was going to dominate gaming for the rest of existence, but gaming goes in cycles. Old styles only last so long. The standard style of uping the graphics and nothing else every generation was making gaming a niche hobby. The Wii was necessary to revive that industry and bring it back into the mainstream. I'm not saying it had to be Nintendo, or even that it had to be the same idea as the Wii in specific, but something needed to change. Ironically, it's the young gamers that are having trouble accepting this change, and the older gamers that are willingly embracing it. Classic gaming is not going to die out. All systems will have core games. If you are so insecure with your system of choice that you constantly have to justify it by attacking the more popular systems, then you obviously are not enjoying your system of choice.
Sorry for the long rant.
