I am amazed how much the Wii gets ignored in the console wars.

I think people are missing the bigger picture here.

99% of the video game industry is comprised of uncreative twats that would rather fight for PS360 scraps making last gen games in HD than actually make a real and innovative attempt at making motion control games.

Yes, they would actually rather spend 2x as much making games for a smaller audience than grow some balls and put in a real effort on Wii. It's easier to make generic_shooter_045 with super realistic graphics than who_knows_what_genres_motion_control_allows with a graphic style that require some artistic vision.

It's not even a difficult position to defend since the Wii has exactly 0 AAA 3rd party games. They can't even say "at least we tried"

It's not a hard decision from a business perspective, play it safe and stick to what you know and pray to all holy hell you're not relegated to obscurity a few years down the line. I hear shmups are popular nowadays.
