There are far too many top rate FPS games on other platforms to be "envious" of a title like Conduit 2 on the Wii that likely wouldn't even register as a blip on the radar for any other platform.
About the only thing it has going for it are the Wii remote pointer controls, which aren't even anything to crow about anymore given FPS Move integration on the PS3.
The problem with blog type sites like Hip Hop Gamer is that they are allowed to be extremely biased due to the blog/opinion format that isn't constrained by the "objectivism" that is supposedly present in more journalistic news sources.
You can bet that if High Voltage gave the Hip Hop Gamer show an exclusive interview or exclusive access to inside information, etc. it's going to result in positive hype/coverage as hype is one of the things blog sites pretty much depend upon to stay relevant.
Controversy, of course being the other thing, because how can you expect to stay relevant if you don't have a chunk of people visiting even if for no other reason than to say how much they disagree with what the blogger himself may not even believe is true.

Um, lower budget. The costs of games on those other systems is stupidly ignored, and just mention the few hits as though they magically make up for all the money being lost by most of the developers.
And lower sales isn't an answer to the above since a) those sales are the developers' fault due to neglect, and b) flops are still fewer despite that.

Good point. I'm going to play Conduit 2 instead of Halo Reach because it's lower budget.

i know when i pick out a game things like low development budget is a key buying decision factor. i inivite all of my friends over and say "you see those terrible graphics and bland gameplay; you can really see the profitablility in this games..."

You know, he was talking from a developers standpoint...
Why would developers work for Wii? Is it because you can add motion and IR? No, becaus it's lower bugdet...

I will repeat that I admit the rest of the post I replied to was from the player's view, so I accidentally quote mined. My bad on that. My point still stands, but it wasn't a proper response.
Also, even if control is the only major reason for an FPS on the Wii, online is about the only major reason for the other systems, and even that's not that much anymore with what we are seeing in Black Ops and other games. It's not XBL, but it's getting closer to PSN (and ironically might be better than PSN when it comes to Black Ops, with how the PS3 players are getting unfortunately hosed).
No, graphics are not a reason. Perhaps using the specs for greater scale, but most of the time it's used for detail, which just changes how it looks, not how it playes (as in we see CoD games on the Wii, and likely could even run Gears, but certainly not MAG).
