Third, why do you think that Wii gamers only buy games based on the cover art?  I will direct you to this link: http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/701400/PS3-Owners-Buy-The-Most-Movie-Tie-In-Games-Wii-Owners-Buy-The-Least.html               

Nielson did a study and found that PS3 owners were most likely to buy movie tie in games (which are generally considered to be crap), and Wii owners were least likely to buy a movie tie in games.  Obviously, Wii owners are not buying their games based on just the cover (maybe Wii owners just hate movies?).  

...

About the Nielsen study: no, that's not what the study really indicated (we had a short thread about it, see this post of mine and the follow-ups).

 

Fair enough-- the study does not come out and say that directly.  It says that those that buy licensed games spend more money on Playstation products.  However, the implication is that PS3 owners buy more movie games than Wii owners.   However, the argument can be made-- and I believe you pointed that out, is that a Wii owner could buy 4 movie games while the PS3 owner could buy 10 games with only 1 being a movie game according to the study.  I don't believe that to be the case, but it could be.

 

Either way, the point I am making is that the claim that Wii owners just buy games based on the covers is not based on any factual evidence.
