Less a matter of intelligence and more a matter of attention span.
A customer buying a new 80GB PS3 might not realize that it doesn't have backwards compatibility like the old 80GB PS3 did. A customer buying a Wii game may not notice the "Requires WiiMotion Plus" sticker until the disc is already in the console. They aren't stupid, they just aren't paying attention.
A lot of people don't want to have to watch the market like a hawk to know everything that's going on. They just want to throw a game in their console and have some fun. And it sucks to get cockblocked when you find out you don't have the right console or controller to do the job.
"The worst part about these reviews is they are [subjective]--and their scores often depend on how drunk you got the media at a Street Fighter event." — Mona Hamilton, Capcom Senior VP of Marketing
