I think both kinds can coexist, but games need to become more like Mario Galaxy, in that they can be enjoyed by almost anybody.

But, for comparison, Spider-Man comics used to be almost Archie-style, but now they're all deep and full of depression and moral ambiguity.

 

Should all books be written with the stipulation that they can be enjoyed by almost anybody?  Should everything be dumbed down so that all the masses can enjoy it?

 

Nope. Niche games on Wii have a chance to meet with the moderate success thanks to low costs and a huge userbase. You just have to realize that the size of your investment has to correspond to the scope of your project's appeal. The Wii has tons of niche games which were too risky to pay HD developer costs to make.
