I will admit as a Wii owner I have been ignoring the console lately. I only have three games on the console altogether (Wii Sports, Super Mario Galaxy, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition). There are many titles out there that deserve my purchase but what gets me glued once I step foot in the game store is the 360 section, then the PS3 section. I just walk right past the Wii section like its not even there. I do look at it but I don't have second thoughts on purchases like I do PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Most used PS3 or 360 games can be found at a cheaper price at GameStop like $9 games and such, those are the titles I pick up, the Wii doesn't have cheap used games like that. The cheapest Wii games are priced at like $17.

I haven't complained and said the Wii has no software. It does, but what happens is that the many of Wii owners I know only play party games or casual-easy pick up and play games. And ignore the hardcore-at-best games i.e. Madworld, Okami and such. I for example am working on a solution to pick those titles up and try in spread the word to more people about the Wii actually has decent software and not those titled "kiddie" games.

Well if your VGC game collection has any truth to it then you also only have 4 PS3 games... a more respectable 10 for the X360 though.

You should really look around for cheap Wii games by the way.... Some of my recent bargains: (UK purchases... but they should be easy enough to find at that price over yonder, I find that generally if I can find a game in £££s... you Americans can generally get it for about the same number of $$$s)

Geometry Wars: Galaxies - £8 (2nd hand, but perfect condition) Proper retro stuff... you also get the XBL retro evolved on the disc too.

Okami - £12 new... from ASDA

Metroid Prime and No More Heroes - £30 (offer of 2 games for £30)

If you like racers you should be able to pick up Excite Truck dirt cheap now... I paid £22 for mine but I have seen it for under £10 more recently.

Batallion Wars Wii - £20... although I have since seen it as cheap as £12.

Games you probably won't be able to find much cheaper than the RRP are Mario Kart, LoZ:TP and things like that.
