Yeah, there were a lot of myths invented to try and discredit the Wii's success.
The "people bought only bought it for Wii Sports/Fit, played for a weekend, then never touched it again" is one of the most absurd. According to Nintendo's own internal data, the Wii has a software to hardware ratio of 9:1, so on average a Wii owner had 9 games for it. It's attach ratio is actually higher than the N64, which was 7:1.
So the average Wii owner bought more games than the average N64 owner.
