So far, in every generation the most successful videogame system was a conventional (arguably obsolete) piece of hardware that sold well in spite of more powerful consoles (and dramatically more powerful PCs) being readily available.
Unlike most previous generations, the elitist "Hardcore" gamers in this generation (which the gaming "Press" is made up of) favoured different consoles than the majority of gamers. The reason for this is because the leading console in this generation is built upon a different set of values than the other consoles, which is quite an unusual situation when compared to most generations. In many ways the Wii is built around traditional values of videogame consoles, while the HD consoles are build around values designed to appeal to elitist "Hardcore" gamers
As much as I want to say that this is a temporary situation, most games for the Wii will always be looked at as "... how much better this would be if it was released for a HD console ..." so I would never expect some people to accept that the Wii has good games, and will see more good games in the future.
