Why Does Wii Really Get A Bad Rap?

I know that the system itself sold very well, but how do the software sales for the Wii look like? Most people I know who had it mainly just used it as a family Wii Sports machine, but that's anecdotal. How do the total software sales for the Wii look like compared with other systems at its time?

Well, look at the chart of the best-selling games (on console as this is what VGC tracks really):

Wii only takes five out of the TOP 10 slots.

Right, and 3 of those are Wii Sports related (at least I assume Wii Play is in the same vein as Wii Sports as I never played it).

That's the sort of evidence that further lends me to think that the Wii itself as a system was mainly a Wii Sports machine for lots of people who bought it.
