Yes, it was a "disappointment." And no I'm not saying this just to please you. The Wii did great in sales and the Wii did great in games. Nintendo supported the Wii enough. (Just like they do with practically all their consoles.) And 3rd part support was quite good. Most of those games were shovel-ware though, I admit to that. But! The ones that aren't are quite well received and are great fun. So what if they didn't sell as much as the first party titles did/do? They are there, that's what matters. It's not up to the developers or Nintendo to sell a game. It's all about the consumer. If the consumer doesn't look for games than they won't sell. There is the downfall of the Wii. All most all of it's owners are your described old people and little, little kids. They don't look for games! All they see are the games that look "fun" or have commercials or have Wii in the title. The Wii was a good console, it had games and it had the sales, it just didn't have the staying power.

I didn't say the Wiis userbase consist of old people and little kids, I just stated that it opened the market more to the older and younger kids, a somewhat untapped market, which is great.

But you did. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, because you're right. It is great to see more people getting into the Gaming Industry, just that these people don't pay attention to game releases other than Wii _____ or Mario _____. When you said that it brought them into the marekt you were right, most of them are either older people or younger children.
