I think what that shows is how videogames are becoming mainstream like music or movies. By that I mean in those mediums there is usually a large and clear distinction between the best selling movies and songs as opposed to those that actually win any awards. The serious experts in these fields usually have tastes that are completely out of sync with the general public.

EDIT: Very rarely do the yearly big summer blockbuster action films win any oscars, but they usually make a crapload more money than the oscar winners.

For clarification the wii branded games are kinda like the blockbusters, they sell alot but they probably won't win game of the year.
