Ya, we've seen some really awesome uses of the Wii controls already, The Godfather, No More Heroes, Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports all come to mind. They've shown us that the Wii controls work really really well, especially in FPS's like Metroid Prime 3.
As for people expecting and wanting the Wii to fail. Yes you are right but you completely missed the mark. Large game studios/investment firms don't like the Wii being cheap to make games for and they especially don't like Wiiware being even cheaper for independents to jump on in. They see the little guy as a huge threat to their market and most importantly their bottom line. They want all the money to themselves. The HD consoles practically guarantee the big guy the entire market. The Wii threatens their market.
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
