"And that's why the Wii doesn't have the software library expected of a market leader."

Selling better is the reason it doesn't have the library? Did you even pay attention to the context of the comment you replied to?

No, what I meant was that it's selling better in spite of not having "the library expected of a market leader".

In previous generations, the console with the most units in consumer homes had what was generably considered the best library amongst the masses. Most people obviously don't believe that it does, hence why it "doesn't get respect".

In previous (all) generations the console with the most units in consumer homes was that way because the masses generally considered it to have the best library.  This is always the case.  Wii is about to hit 60M and it's because most people obviously believe that it does have the superior library.  You might not and your gaming buddies might not, but you really need to quit speaking for everyone.  It gets respect from the masses, it doesn't get respect from the inner gaming circle's elite; aka: 16-24 year old males. 

Puhlease. The only difference between the Wii and previous Nintendo generations is the Wii-game lineup (Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Play, etc.) Other than that, it's just upgrade stapled Nintendo games (Smash Bros/Melee/Brawl, SM64/Sunshine/Galaxy, Ocarina of Time/Wind Waker/Twilight Princess, MK64/MKDD/MKWii, etc), and a few 3rd party games sprinkled in every now and then.

I know quality is objective....but if you honestly believe the like of Wii Fit and Wii Music is makes the Wii library superior, well, please, let me have some of what you're smoking.

Have you ever stopped and thought about who plays what games? If you give a child a movie tie-in game of Cars, he'll think it's the bees knees. That's similar to how this whole blue ocean strategy is....doesn't mean that those booboo games = better library. Remember, Nintendo wants to get the "non-gamer" to play the Wii, so, in essence, they make "non-games" (if that makes any sense). The "gamer" is indeed the 16-24 year old demographic, and the "non-gamer" is everyone else....everyone else, as we all acknowledge, are non forum going, non-game researching people who will buy a game simply because they like the colors on the box art. You wonder why Game Party sold so much??? Game Party = superior now??
