It's very sad, but the amount of shovelware for the Wii is what's preventing better games to get released...
Look, retailers buy any games, but most of them are shovelware and they need to put them on the main shelves because they know core gamers won't buy them. It's for the misinformed consumer, who enters a store and buys the first thing he sees. My dad actually did this, but there's no way you can get mad with him, just bad luck. But the thing is as d2lewis said, there's a 0% chance that a misinformed gamer will pick a good game, because they are not on the shelves!
I believe that this big retailers should do some research before buying massive amounts of copies of any given game. They should check the genre, popularity and price before ordering so many.
After all they end up on the bargain bins and people pick them up over full priced good games. :(
