I think that the wii remote is what turns alot of developers away from the wii. Now if the wii had a more "traditional" game pad more developers might be willing to make a serious effort. The wii remote is still seen as sort of a gimmick to alot of people.

 

So basicly the Wii would be... A Gamecube?

The dude is not bashing the Wii. Another quote:

"I'm not trying to take away from those guys at Nintendo. Their games are awesome--I'm a fan, too. But as a company that doesn't make Nintendo-type games, the Wii is less of a compelling platform for us to really sink a lot of resources into."

 

Absolutely the truth. I would not expect PC developer to move to consoles unless their games are appropriate. I also would not be that inclindes to see Console developers to move to PC. I don't need to see Doom on Consoles or Mario Galaxy on PC. Classic platformers just don't seem PC orientated.

Though the Wiiremote or specificly the pointer does offer some games an opperunity to be played like their PC counter parts. Warcraft 2 & 3, Diablo and other pointer centric games.
