This is so true based on the shovelware present.
But i do think there is really a large chunk of stdios and devs that simply aim to make games like bioshock, uncharted, gears of war, alan wake, heavy rain etc. that really just have a huge passion for the art of what they do and the things that make those games great just simply arent possible on the wii technologically, not a knock.
Granted, one could argue they could simply diversify and create innovative art on the wii but as mentioned beforetheres a deeper situation where you have all of these devs that make their bread and butter with all the tech for the PS3 and 360 and wed have to wonder if a lot of the things they do for a living would be underutilized on the wii, for instance, physics, lighting, coding.....they may be in a position where they feel to dismantle the teams and talents they have to span out and be innovative in the sense of the wii wasnt worth the sacrifice.
I think its a much deeper issue than ignorance.

Except those games aren't the greatest ever, not by a longshot, so the argument that they are passionate about the art doesn't really hold, now if you say they are graphics whores, who need the crutch of HD then you have an argument
|
But even some of the greatest games of all time Ocarina of time, GTA 3, Link to the past are either nintendo francheses or were still technically superior to most if not any games of their time.
The best games of this gen are arguably what you bolded in my text, or nintendo properties.

Some might have been technically superior (although i'd argue this, as games like Monkey Island, Civ, the original Mario and Zelda and other great games were not cutting edge), but it was more the gameplay not the bells and whistles that made them great, iconic

Monkey island came out in 1990, i dont see how you can compare "graphics" when the situations are different and there wasnt a real market in 1990 and even then monkey island looked great for its time.
Youre comparing genre defining games to current games in which genres are already established not to mention a mario game which i already addressed in my post and doesnt really make sense since its a nintendo IP and Mario games still sell amazing for the reasons youve mentioned.
