No it's Nintendo greed that kept Wii only in casual camp.
If they offered motion controls and as much horsepower as they could fit into it while breaking even at start they wouldn't lose third party support.

I think even with having the Wii as is, they could have gained more 'core' support by using some of those insane profits from casual titles to get some more quality 3rd party exclusives. Also a form of greed, I guess.

Well they didn't even have to money hat. Just finance some riskier core games from other companies or offer big marketing incentives like MS did with Gears.
