Zak and Wiki is a great game but not a "solid traditional game" it's a mixture between adventure, point and click and puzzles. Kinda difficult to seel (specially because "Teh hardcore" fear kiddy designs and cute sounds)

Which is a very solid and very traditional game genre, though maybe not as much on consoles as on PC.

Terms change depending on the user and time period, I'm pretty sure Alfred was using the term traditional in the sense of mainstream and deemed core.  In that sense point and click hasn't been a traditional game since Grim Fandango. 

Traditional games now a days are seen as the FPS, TPS, platformer, and RPG genres. They're mainstream, there are niches within the genre but they can achieve great sales if it's good enough, appealing to the masses which means nothing out of the ordinary which throws Zack and Wiki out since no core mainstream traditional gamer would be caught dead playing a game that looks like a saturday morning cartoon, and it has to be marketed, which also throws Z&W out since the most marketing done for that game was swag was handed out at E3 and to reviewers...
