I played almost all the 9+ games on both systems (with the exception of Zack and Wiki whatever that is) and I have to say every Wii game, even with the different controls, was the same game I played on the N64. The controls were different but in most cases it makes control more frustrating. Its far harder to play twilight princess then it was to play orcania of time, ditto for smash bros (which is AWFUL to play with the wii mote). The remote does lend itself to mini games like Wii Sports or probably carnival games but except for Resident Evil 4 I have found the PS3 to control infinately better and all the Wii games to be very derivitive.
On the other hand with GTA4 and MGS4 I had a ton of wow moments that reminded me why I like video games in the first place. The attention to detail, the story, the characters, the game play, its all revolutionary and amazing. If you can point to a single point at which you felt a strong connection to the characters or were really blown away by something completely unexpected and amazing in one of the first party Wii games please, feel free to share.
Similarly awesome and expansive was Oblivion, Call of Duty 4 was the most intense photo realistic game I've ever seen until MGS4 blew it away, Ratchet and Clank was a fun platformer easily on par with the Mario or Banjo Kazoee games, Resistance was a very fun and incredibly original FPS game that made the field of Halo clones and WW2 sims look positively boring by comparison. Ninja Gaiden Sigma was the most challenging game I've played and required lightning reflexes that would be impossible with the wiimote, Rock band was the most fun multi player experience I've ever had (also impossible on the Wii are the download songs since the Wii has no HD). Pro Evolution Soccer was very fun and realistic if you like soccer and MotorStorm was one of the best release games I've ever played with a great original racing experience. Uncharted was like a modern Indiana Jones and was both cinematic and exciting. What the PS3 has that the Wii doesn't have is the ability to have sweeping cinematic game experiences that really impress and aren't just been there done that rehashes. Maybe nostalgia does it for you but I don't want to play rehashes of the same games I used to love when I was 4 on the NES. I play the Nintendo games occasionally but I've never found myself up for 10 hours past when I should have headed to bed riveted by any modern Nintendo game like I was with MGS4 last night.
Quality cinematic games do sell. The top all time sellers that weren't bundled are high end games like the GTA games, Gran Turismo (which is as different from Mario Kart as you can get) games and plenty of other high end mature console games from about 2 years into the new consoles life cycle on. Feel free to look at the top games of the last 2 gens for plenty of proof. There are enough people who aren't satisfied with Imagine Babies to let the cream sell as it should.
