You do from time to time bother reading oh I do not know the sales charts for the Wii. Notice anything striking about the top five games. No wait I don't want to ruin the surprise for you. Seriously this isn't the blue ocean its the wading pool. What your telling me that mini games are not the best selling genre on the console. What are your going to say they do not hold the top positions.

1. Wii Sports 12.45m
2. Wii Play 6.99m
3. Zelda Twilight Princess 3.88m
4. Mario Party 8 2.78m
5. Wario Ware Smooth Moves 2.00m

Seriously the console already has somewhat of a reputation. The fact that its living up to that reputation isn't going to help when it comes to getting complex, or more mature titles. Honestly I can only play so many compilations before I want a real game. I suppose if you get off on the though of an endless stream of compilations it sounds fantastic to you, but for me I want something challenging not mind numbing.

Basically its true and you know it. Crying about it doesn't change a thing.

Revisit that list in a year, it will be Galaxy, SSBB, MKWii, Zelda, Wii Sports will still be there, WiiPlay is only there because of the controller (go ahead, hate on N for marketing well). Plus the 2 Resident Evil games will have more than doubled exceeded expectations. As I said in an earlier post today, EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. Remember, almost no third parties even planned on developing for the Wii until mid 2007. The ideas are just starting.

Seems like others are seeing the potential of expanding the market, (Scene It, Singstar and Buzz finally coming out in NA). Nobody's dissing on Sony for marketing a Karaoke bundle at X-Mas, Wii Sports is closer to a traditional game than that.
