It's not the controller. It's the software.

All people who play games follow the software.

Oh right....People bought the wii because of the high quality games....

So what about wii fit, or Mario Karts (steering wheel), or the huge variety of sports games?

Don't kid yourself. The wii's selling point is the controller because it's a "bit of fun", not that the wii offers good gaming in relation to the rest of the gaming market.

Wii Fit, Mario Kart, and many of the sports games (Wii Sport Resort in particular) are very fun, accessible, high-quality games that appeal to people with a wid range of value sets. Yes, people bu ythe Wii because of its software.

You're wrong. "A bit of fun" doesn't build up the kind of word of mouth necessary to sustain the kind of sales the Wii has had for the past three years.

So these games are high quality even though the pad isnt 1:1 and has a delay of 180ms, while having hideously dated AI and graphics?

Which part of the above screams quality...?

And yes it does. A bit of fun and something to keep the kids quiet, whilst being fashionable does produce sales. Fact is its seriously weaker in everyway than the other two consoles, let alone PC. Therefore in comparison the gaming quality on it is far worse than other consolesm the only advantage of the wii being the motion pad, which isn't all that good anyway (lag etc).

If you can tell me how the wii is high quality and would appeal to a veteran gamer, i'll have to rethink my stance on the wii. But from every game i've played on it, it doesn't come close to games of the same genre on other consoles, with possibly one or two exceptions. ANd then when you take media playback into acount, the wii is selling purely on the pad, not the quality of games (let's remeber where the term shovelware came from).

   I believe it came from the pre nintendo days back at the time of the great videogame crash when so many crap games were being released in such quantities that retailers were "shoveling" games into bargain bins. It was also used to describe all the low quality PS and PS2 games of the last couple of generations, Whats your point?.
