I'll tell you who do care about graphics, AI etc. Gamers, ergo wii owners and people who claim it is a good 'proper' gaming platform don't know the first thing about gaming.
If you can't notice a 10+ fps lag, then wow, may want to get a doctor to have a look at that. The games are fun and accessible, but so is a ball pool. It's fun for a short time, but a lot of people grow out of it, and I myself, as do many other gamers, feel that the wii offers very little challenge and in most genres is a total step backward to out dated gaming (rail shooters, 2D platforms) when the expected quality of games has pasted those type of games.
Your grammer is a bit sketchy on your last sentece but I'm guessing you mean can I name you a hardcore game I do not like?
If so yes I can. Halo 3, Ratchet and Clank, Borderlands, Fifa and PES. Personally Halo 3 for me was not anything new so I wasn't keen on it. I'm not a fan of the R&C platforming genre, Borderlands was medicore in my view, and I've never understood the want to play football games. Plus I hated MW2, but note I dislike Halo 3 and MW2 for somewhat the same reasons as I dislike Wii games - both games felt a step backwards, or not a step foward for the genre. Could pick out many more games but as the user base for MW2 and Halo 3 are so large, hope this is the sort of reply your were aiming for.

I'm going to move past the earlier parts of your post to continue with my point, do forgive me.
Yes, it's the sort of reply I was aiming for.
Now, are the people who enjoy.... we'll say Ratchet and Clank. Are the people who enjoy Ratchet and Clank wrong, simply missing out on something that they should be seeing?

Nope. Ratchet and Clank offers a good delve into the platforming genre with wide expansive worlds, good graphics, and essentially it works, e.g. the controls are responsive, as well as the game being the 'natural evolution' for gaming - it takes what the old did and simply makes it all better, it doesn't suddenly go 2D or take a deconstructive step in the wrong direction.
Similar to LittleBigPlanet really. Amazing level design, very accessible, child friendly, many hours of content, if not limitless due to level customisation as well as being an improvement on platforming (2D -> 2.5D allowing for more creative level designs, fully implemented physics system, online play, online level sharing etc).
