I get it that you don't like the wii but there's no point in trying to diminish it. The wii is credited for bringing accurate motion controls to gaming, something that true gamers always dreamed of. the wii remote + nunchuck is the perfect control for shooters, it allowed games that weren't possible before and the motion + even allowed the likes of 1:1 sword control.

The Wiimote created unique experience for some games, but for the most part it controlled like a mouse pointer. I could argue Kinect and Move also created unique experience, but their impact on gaming hasn't been signficant.

If Wiimote was something "true gamers" dreamed of than the Wii would have sold better to core audience and Nintendo would have continued pushing it.

Wii sold a lot for true gamers, as well as it's games.
