What is the greatest Nintendo home console of all time?

Can't believe the Wii is beating the N64 in votes :(

I still bust out my N64 from time to time to play it more than 15 years after I got it, while my Wii is now a permanent dust collector. Wii might have been important in catapulting Nintendo back to 1st, but the N64's library shits all over the Wii's library.

I don't get why Wii gets this reputation as a "dust collector." Seriously, there are litterally dozens of games worth checking out on Wii.. And that's just out of the 100 or so Wii games I've played. just gotta seek out the good ones..

For me at least, N64 had a few really great games and not much else, while Wii's lineup has a ton of "good" games, while somewhat lacking in the AAA games.

Because the games that longtime gamers like myself and many others actually want to play and look forward to playing on the Wii have been very few and far between, even moreso than the N64/GC combined.  I averaged almost 5 game purchases a year for the N64 and GC throughout their lifespans... for the Wii it's been less than 2 (not including downloadable ones, which for me consisted mainly of rare Turbo CD games like Ys I & II and Castlevania Rondo of Blood that would have costed me a small fortune to play in their original physical form otherwise.)  And once I got a 360, my Wii has sometimes gone months without being used at all.

I know there's plenty of good underrated or not well known titles on the Wii, but I really don't care to play any of those.  The one non-Nintendo game that I took a chance on for the Wii was Zack and Wiki way back in '07 because IGN hyped the game non-stop, and I enjoyed it for the first couple of worlds or whatever and then got really bored of it.  Not interested in games like Xenoblade and Last Story either, which are geared only towards stubborn fanboys who refuse to buy another console to play the latest and greatest games, and are reduced to begging Nintendo to port these niche titles over just so that they have SOMETHING to play.  If you have to literally beg a game company to put out more games because there's nothing else to play for months on the horizon (except Mario Party 9, oh joy), then it's time to get a new console.
