And if you want to break it down further.

games with a score of 90+ released in 2008 (the real cream of the crop)

Wii:3
PS3:6
360:6

85+ (The really great games)

Wii:6
PS3:20
360:23

I think this is the real issue right here. No matter whose "fault" you consider it to be, the Wii just doesn't get as much quality software as the PS3 and 360. Granted, what's there is outstanding (Mario, Zelda, etc.). It's just that for gamers who buy titles at a decent clip, it's easy to run the well dry fast on the Wii.

Not saying you're wrong, but there is a genuine amount of hatred towards the Wii in the gaming media that seriously lowers the reviewscores. A nice example is the bizarre full point difference in the sound scoring between CoDWaW on IGN. Sure full sorround is nice, but other than that the sound is exactly the same.

The other thing is that the genres that are reviewed highest are FPS and WRPG, two genres that are basically non excistant on Wii.

If casuals do not care, why should nintendo care? HC gamers are less likely to buy that console anyway so they are the vanishing minority of wii users. I bet most of casuals do not even know what metacritic is or even care about game reviews. They just like to have fun with their console. I am kinda hoping that ms and sony will also take this path as it will be financially much better. Of course 'you' 'HC' gamers on consoles will suffer, but hey theres always PC. ;)
