You can make your own deductions about my labeling and the last few games as well...
I want to ask you guys how many of those 'AAA' games are recent? How many come from Nintendo and how many of them actually have mainstream appeal??
Wii allows developers to spend less money on development which while it can turn out that titles of lesser quality come of it.. It also means that they can survive.. I can guess of the next few to hit that list there.. Grand Slam Tennis, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, Punch-Out!!, The Conduit, Monster Hunter 3, Pikmin 3, Red Steel 2, Maybe CoD: MW2 (unless its gimped) and Zelda Wii.. So people reasoning that Wii doesn't have many quality titles are probably right.. All the big hopes, DC, MadWorld, HotD: Overkill, they all had issues such as length etc..
The Conduit is a nice example, it'll be a great Wii game with some of the best controls of any console shooter and it'll push the Wii hardware but it will not have the budget and scope of any of the HD shooters and it's completely stupid to blame the console that plays the software for the software not selling when if people are buying the console and not software, it's obviously the software that's the problem.
