Why was Wii rejected by the industry though?

Because it was severely underpowered and had none of the big 3rd party games such as Grand Theft Auto or Assassin's Creed. Wii U is the solution to the Wii problem, but its too late.

I can tell you didn't see the Sony conference. Long Story Short, the philosophy of the PS4 is a platform that removes all limitations. There's more than enough fast ram, there's social features to encourage social interaction, there's Cloud technology, smartphone/tablet/Vita integration and of course more than enough power to satisfy power-hungry developers. Probably most important of all is the support of all 3rd party developers. Something Nintendo would kill for.

The Wii was rejected, because publishers couldn't simply outspend their competitors. Since the ceiling for graphics wasn't as high as on other systems, it meant that they had to compete with Nintendo on creativity and imagination. That's the hard way to sell games. It's much easier to sell an average game with pretty graphics.

There will always be technical limitations. Trust me, developers will want more power in the not so distant future. They always do.

Of there is a ceiling, but developers won't reach it so easily.
