Nintendo didn't lack foresight with the Wii, unless you claim that it was predictable that third parties would refuse to develop for a less powerful system.

I would say it is predictable they would not front many core games with motion controls being the default set-up.

Tell that happydolphin. He believes that more horsepower alone would have gotten rid of the third party hate.

It's pretty clear that the Wii could have only gotten support if it had not been the Wii. But by removing the Wiimote and Nunchuk, it would have ceased to be the Wii and thus never become a success which would have hurt Nintendo much more than losing out on third party support.

In the end, it seems Nintendo themselves didn´t like what the Wii is.
