What was the Wii?

I'd say pretty much every successful platform ever, (and for that matter nearly all platforms successful or not) have more bad games than good ones.

I dont see how you can say that. How much dance games were released on PS2? 4? 360? Im not talking bad games here. Sonic 06 is a bad game. I Im talking straight shovelware, your Dance parties, WiiFit knockoffs, bacheolors, what other system had games like that in such high volumes.

That's the thing though, a game doesn't need to be casual or low budget to be bad. A game like Sonic '06 or Duke Nukem Forever isn't any better than the likes of Just Dance or Carnival Games.

I know a lot of people look at the wii as a forgotten gimmick console,one that was not "for real gamers" but, honestly,i felt refreshed by it.In a time when everything is "epic" and big,and "artistic" and "the next big leap",simplicity is something to admire.

That was actually a big part of what made Gen 7 so amazing in my opinion; on the one hand you had the PS3 and 360 pushing these complex, epic new experiences like Bioshock and Mass Effect, while on the other you had the Wii offering a more relaxed and accessible pick-up-and-play approach. It made for a cool two-pronged approach.
