Has the Wii failed as a gamer console?

4 years from now when this generation will be history will any gamer seriously look at the Wii as a console with a good library of games compared to its rivals?

Will anyone consider buying it second hand? will anyone attach any value to it beyond the gimmick motion controls? The Wii has had years to develop a decent library and games are either waggle fests that use the controller or more balanced games that barely use the motion sensing capabilities.

Don't get me wrong it has a few gems, mostly from nintendo, but the rest is crap, for all the hardware and software it has sold the Wii sure is a disappointment in terms of quality, and it will be completely forgotten come next gen.

Define "gamer". Just because I'm a female, only play Just Dance or some unknown party game once a week and don't waste my life talking trash about rival consoles online, am I not a gamer? Pardon me for falling prey to stereotypes, but that appears to me to be what you're implying. If so, then Wii has certainly disappointed this crowd of "gamers".

Bah, we need a catchy term like racism for gaming elitism.
