@Umos-cmos  fair enough I also bought RS2 day one with the motion and people didnt give that game a fair shake,but even thought the game didnt get any ads a core gamer who goes on a damn gaming website knew about the game??? So what was there excuse.   I think the problem was that the Wii was so different that they didnt know what to do. PS3 had a similar problem early on with devs not knowing how to use the system but the learned. With the Wii they can get away with putting some crap together and selling regardless, that audience dont really cares.

I think its just easier for devs to make these shovelware games. There cheaper to make and get more profit. Even if they make these AAA games the casual grandma soccer mom is not gonna care and for better or worse they are the majority of WII owners. I dont know why some Wii owners cant accept this and let it go. Enjoy the little bit of "good" 3rd party games the Wii does get and Ninty games.

Agreed.  The point is moot now.  Developers hedged their bets on the HD consoles and the rest is history.  I enjoy the great 3rd party games that do come out now and again and know that I've always got Samus, Mario and Link to keep me company on a cold winters night. (-:  For that reason I will ALWAYS own a Nintendo console.  I will probably own at least one other console but Nintendo is an automatic for me.
