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

Since it launched it's essentially sailed to the top and stayed there. It's first party games sell better than any other console first party games (including 360) and even when down YOY in pure physical sales it's still ahead.

I guess with such heated content between the HD consoles (which are essentially selling neck and neck time adjusted) that just attracts lots of attention vs Wii.

How often does that actually happen in sports? Or many other events? It doesn't unless you loathe the winner.

I think the same thing does happen in sports, in the right circumstances.  Imagine 3 tennis players, 1 is the world number one and is a decent, quiet chap, avoids scandals, while the other 2 are in 2 and 3 place and bicker, trade insults and whose game is very close, it could go one way or the other.

The fact is that, in a generalistic sense, there is more to argue about regarding PS3/360 and Sony/MS than Nintendo for a lot of people.

I actually find the Wii very interesting, as I wouldn't have personally though it would take of the way it did, and I recognize it was one hell of a risk to bring to market.  But I just feel that for many others its the clear winner with no scandal and little to argue about.

That's not what's going on here. This would be the sports journalists acting as though the number one player isn't a real Tennis player, and that the player is just about to quit the sport no matter how the signs are otherwise, and that even though the number 2 and number 3 are rivals, they are treated as one entity to make them a match when compared to number 1.
