It's pretty much clear that there weren't many (any?!) AAA-titles in 2009 for the Wii. But it is widely overlooked that there were in fact quite a few A-titles which should also appeal to "hardcore" gamers. So I agree with the article.
Still I am surprised that the Wii actually "won" that part according to IGN. If you take a look at Part 2 (the genre showdown) then the outcome looks more like what I expected
