Why are you citing MadWorld, No More Heroes and Red Steel as cornerstones of Wii gaming? Those games are built specifically for the so-called "hardcore" audience on Wii, but they don't come up to the standards of similar games on HD systems. (And honestly, I think most people think they look boring and stupid.)
The real fun on Wii is Wii Sports, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Mario Galaxy, WarioWare... And yes, those games are a ton of fun.
And then think of DS+PSP versus GBA. No contest there. And then throw in Rock Band for this gen.
I think this gen basically crushes last gen in terms of fun. In fact, I'd say it kind of reveals how standardized and boring last gen was. I didn't even realize that I had one foot out the door until games like Wii Sports, Mario Galaxy and Rock Band.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
