IMO it could be argued the reason so much of Nintendo s "blue Ocean" evaporated so quickly was the shovelware-   most experienced gamers knew/learned to avoid the shovelware- but the new casual gamer came in and bought a ton of shovelware- they eventiually relaized it for what it was but in many of the big casual genre s like hunting, fishing etc virtually all the games were shovelware- so the entertainment was short term, skin deep and a cheap thrll- not enough to get most of the "blue ocean" to keep gaming, to respect gaming and def not enough for them to go buy a $350 Wii U that was completely different "in their eyes" than the intuitive Wii. 

 

I probably represent oe of the minority who became interested in what the Wii had to offer via playing games w my Son-  but instead of giving up on gaming, I waded through, educated myself to help avoid buying my son poor value games/shovelware as well as myself

If all I had ever played was the shovelware games i would have left gaming behind several years ago and not been willing to invest in nearly as many games for my children-   

That give us a good insight about what might have happened with the Wii and is happening with the Wii U. And that's one of the things sundin13 fails to understand. He thinks about the short-term and how a specific company has benefited from the easy-way of making money out of games and he doesn't get how the whole ecosystem (industry and market) got harmed because of that.
