Companies don't want to take brand risks on the Wii because Wii games are harder to market: you can't just throw up a few screenshots and say ZOMG SO PRETTY DESU and expect games to sell like they would on the HD consoles. You actually have to convince people that the game is fun, and that takes more effort than marketers typically like to put in.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
