I actually bought a Wii a loooong time before I even thought about picking up a PS3, so I guess your statement is far from true. I was actually going to have a 'one console only generation', and got the Wii about a week before launch, and I have never been more disappointed with any console I have bought in my life! I never use it anymore (I did play some Muramasa this summer though and of course Gradius 3 on Vitual Console!), and with it's offerings (games, functionality, etc) it made Nintendo stoop to a level were they seem to only care about making profit, not making excellent games for ALL types of gamers, IMO. After more than a year of Wii only "gaming", and no games to hold my attention (With Super Smash being delayed over and over), I had to buy another system. It was that simple...
Now, Nintendo seem to care more about making easy games that everyone can just pick up and play, so IMO they ruined classics like: Super Smash and Mario Kart (The competitiveness and skill is GONE), Mario Party (Worst use of motion controls ever), Zelda (Faulty controls and WAY TOO EASY. I mean, it almost feels like it's on-rails: Teleport here, teleport there... Oh, and only read the RED text...), and I could go on and on about how Wii Sports barely held my attention for 3 days before I decided to never play it again (Motion Controls is more than just flicking your wrist and wave around like a crazy person. No skill needed, just mindless "fun", which IMO is not fun at all). Twilight Princess was a HUGE disappointment to me, it is by far the worst game in this Holy franchise, and the Wii version is a broken mess (so I bought the GC version as well).
The only Nintendo game I truly respect on the Wii is Super Mario Galaxy (only the first one). At least Nintendo made some effort with this game. Amazing gameplay, lovely graphics and incredible music! That game is one of the best games ever made! Pure quality through and through. Oh, and the new Kirby looks pretty sweet as well! And I might look into DKR, but I have a SNES with all 3 games, AND I bought them for the VIrtual Console as well, so what's the point in buying DKR again? Oh, and the Vitality Sensor sounds pretty awesome.
I was actually a hardcore Nintendo before Nintendo came dragging along with the Wii and it's disappointments. In my 'crew', it was all about Nintendo, with the Mario Karts, Super Smash Bros. (Melee), the Mario Partys, the Zeldas, the Metroids and the Mario platformers. However, that special Nintendo magic is long gone with the Wii. If the Wii didn't have the Virtual Console, I would never use it. Gradius 3 is what keeping my "Wii" gaming alive!
To me, the mighty has fallen, and they won't rise until they dramatically change their tune. So yeah, Nintendo has to do a lot to gain my trust again...
