The Wii has many, many crummy games

I did read, but I was addressing that point another way.

Then let me reiterate. People can tell when a game isn't fun. They may not know that there's a name for those kinds of games (shovelware), but when they can go to the store and begin buying from a selection that is 60-70% shovelware compared to good games... their opinion can get determined pretty fast.

"even worse, giving uneducated consumers the opinion that ALL Wii games are shovelware."

That was the point I was commenting on. You may think it works that way, but it doesn't. If it did, the DS would not have survived its first couple of years, as the shovelware ratio was high too.

So far, the only people with this opinion are people looking these doom and gloom articles, and not recognizing them for the fanboy drivel they actually are.

Now if you want to talk, show me proof that SALES of games lean 60%+ in favor of shovelware, not just the presence of games.

If I had a camera, I would go to Best Buy and take a picture of their Wii games exhibit.  It's away from the middle off to the side next to the movie (almost out of the games section!) and for every Super Mario Galaxy you can see at least 4 "shovelware" (as per the article's description) titles. 

If you want proof then go out and add up the sales of all the "shovelware" games on the Wii.  I'm guessing the figures would be quite astonishing.  ^_^
