     Fist off this is not a knock on Nintendo I have a Wii. I just do not understand the mass appeal of the Wii. The Big games are still the same big games Nintendo has always had. 

That's where you're wrong. True, it's still giving us awesome Zeldas, Marios, and Metroids, but it's also delivering fantastic games for the expanded market (Wii Sports, Fit, Music, etc.). This plays a role in the appeal: it's the first console in a long, long time that deliberately tries to appeal to people beyond the traditional gamer, and it does so with original and accessible games. That plays a role, but there's more to it as well.
