No obviously I don't believe that. WHAT! No way no shovelware game can outsell Mario thats just common sense. Maybe the example I used wasn't the best one. What I'm trying to say is, it s waay cheaper to produce shovelware and then Nintendo would save millions of $ making those games instead of making something like Kid Icarus Wii which I want them to make.

You say the DS has more shovelware than the Wii right. You also say nobody complains about it right. Do you know why? It is because the DS has a TON of awesome games first, second, and third party in fact that it kind of just douses the amount of shovelware on the DS anyway. For example, I can walk into a Gamestop looking for a DS game without having a particular game in mind and find a good one in a heartbeat right after I walk in. For Wii . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ummmm I looked through the whole shelf of Wii games and just couldn't find something. OH! I found a No More Heroes/Red Steel in one bundle for $30. Wow a great deal but im ok I really need to buy gas so i skipped on that. But you probably get my point.

My point is, Nintendo wouldn't save money by making shovelware, because shovelware wouldn't give them the ridiculous profits that their quality games do.

I'm also aware why nobody complains about DS' shovelware. What this means is the real problem isn't the Wii having so much shovelware, but rather the Wii lacking higher quality games. It basically comes back down to third parties not putting in the effort they usually do for the lead console.
