Yeah, it means that developers might want to try to shovel more shovelware on the console instead of new ips in traditional genres. Wii owners are to blame. There are close to 50 million of you don't you want more good games on your system are are you really satisfied with bland products like Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Music, and Wii Fit? |
Wait, wait, wait.
How is anything you just named "bland"? Go ahead. Break it down for me.

Because that don't allow you to do anything you can't do on your free time from going and playing bowling to learning to play a real musical instrument. Modern gaming is supposed to be about freeing yourself from the humdrumness of the real world and letting you enjoy participating in virtual worlds that offer you the chance to have experiences that you never could have or even could have imagined having in the real world. They are about going on adventures in Hyrule instead of playing table tennis or going shopping at the local Costco.

I can't play baseball, I'm not a boxer, I can't afford to bowl, I can't afford tennis equipment, and I damn sure can't afford to golf. Ping pong is beyond me, you can imagine I don't drive tanks, I have almost no musical aptitude... these are all things that I am allowed to experience by proxy through these games.
But that doesn't explain why you think they're bland. They are stand-outs as examples of the medium, and do not blend into the landscape of popular gaming culture.

I guess they're standouts of the types of games that get those traditionally not interested in gaming into gaming. But, they're not really standout games according to accepted criteria for judging games. When I get my Wii, I'm going to sell Wii Sports and get either Madworld, House of the Dead: Overkill, RE4 Wii Edition, No More Heroes / Red Steel Double Pack, Okami or Zack and Wiki with the proceeds.
