You forgot "Has decent marketing," which no Wii game that didn't actually have the word "Wii" in the title has yet had. This seems to be the big thing with Nintendo consoles now; everyone seems to expect everything to sell pretty much by word of mouth alone. Is it really such a surprise that this doesn't work?
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
