Same here, though Zelda was more important.
@OP: You certainly are generalizing. I've been gaming for over 15 years, starting with the NES (which was sadly lost in Katrina), and I've been PC gaming for the last 8-10, and yet I fully enjoy what the ps3 has to offer.
I love my Wii, but it doesn't have some amazing sway over me because of "teh innovation". Hell, my two favorite games for the system have been last gen ports (Twilight Princess and Okami). Thus far my four favorite games for the system, Twilight Princess, Okami, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, have all used more traditional control schemes than most other Wii games. Galaxy was quite innovative with it's gravity system, but that had nothing to do with the controls.
I enjoy innovation, and I love my Wii and DS, but there's nothing wrong with games that utilize traditional control methods, and there are plenty of old school, hardcore gamers such as myself that enjoy the ps3 and 360.
You also don't need a new control scheme to have innovation, as Super Mario Galaxy shows. Hell, just look at Team ICO. The different perspective that they bring to the gaming world has nothing to do with button layouts or motion controls. And then there's the plethora of innovative PSN titles, like Echochrome and PixelJunk Eden.
