Oh god, are falling back into the "which games are shovelware?" categorization again?
First of all, game reviews are skewed toward PS2/PS3/X360 games, so of course the Wii won't score well.
Secondly, the NES, PS1, and PS2 had tons of shovelware. Note how they beat competitors. Coincidence?
Thirdly, when developers saw the Wii sell, they copied superficial features (MINIGAMEZ) without understanding the underlying mechanics (Nintendo's A teams developing them, subtle controls for people to master, actually adding depth) so of course the games failed. Read

There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.
