I can. Shelf space can't in the largest retail stores for games at the time. Again same issue as 2600. So perception is soured . Not to mention wii shovelware ratio far higher than those consoles. Wii was not on equal footing tech wise like those consoles were. So wii was not publishers priority but a quick buck.

I certainly don't know if I'd say Wii had a higher proportion of shovelware than the NES; the bulk of that system's library was pretty poor, but that didn't matter cos it also had some of the best games ever.

Regardless though, anyone with the perception that Wii was nothing but shovelware was/is simply ignorant, the existence of games like Mario Galaxy or Twilight Princess weren't exactly a secret.

Gotta remember the average consumer is not enthusiasts like us. Don't  keep up with gaming news.just what they see in the store.
