While I wouldn't put it quite that way myself, I will say I have never seen such immense efforts to discredit a console's success as happened with the Wii.

It upset the status quo both by dethroning the previous market leader and by outselling the "cool" and "hardcore" HD consoles, so both console warriors of the other two and those who described themselves as "hardcore" saw its very existence as offensive, and the fact that it won the generation over their preferred consoles outraged them to the point where even now, well over a decade after Gen 7 ended, I still frequently see people online who are still in denial about its victory and spin reality like a pretzel to try to claim that it somehow doesn't count and didn't really win.

I think it's funny honestly. It used to make me mad back then but im much more mature now as you can tell from my sig

A movie based on Super Mario Galaxy is about to come out. A revolutionary roller coaster that frequently gets 2-hour wait times based on Donkey Kong Country Returns opened in Orlando last year. And a subplot in the Paradise tv show revolved around an assassin who was literally willing to kill for a Wii. That kind of enduring cultural impact for a 20-year-old console would suggest the general public really liked it. Uncharted also got a theme park ride and a movie, but the ones based on Wii games are much bigger deals and much more popular.

I liked the Wii. I just thought the general public hated it. I own 25 Wii games. 

I have 200+ I'm not kidding I'm a super duper Nintendo fan

I need a list (Or pics). Honestly, I don't think I could list 50 Wii games that I would consider a solid 7/10, but maybe my memory needs refreshing. 

I moved away for medical school and left all my video games at a relative's house or else id supply the goods. Realistically there are about 70 to 80 good games with the remaining 100 or so "fun when youre stoned" games. My friends and I back in the wii era used to go to gamestop when we were high and pick like 5 wii shovelware games to play. We did it with the plan of returning them but we had so much fun the first time we did it that i decided to keep the games for memory's sake. After several rounds of that you end up with over 100 games of shovelware but each one has a story. Lol. Ill never forget one of the games from that first batch was imagine babiez, it actually was a lot more fun than you would think looking at the box art. We went back to that well more than once im afraid to admit. Lol

Oh my goodness i did just remember though i made this cringe ass video in 2012 going over some of the games i owned lol. While this isn't exhaustive and it was before i got to 200 it gives you an idea of what i had. Haha

I feel like this impression is the result of the "hardcore" gamer echo chamber that exists in online spaces.

Those of us who attend gaming forums are less than 1% of the total audience and tend to lean towards enthusiasts who care more about stuff like graphics and as such are more likely to be negative towards a less powerful system that targeted a more "casual" audience.

I own 52 Wii games myself, terrific console IMO.

A lot of that attachment rate of software seems to be for multiplayer games for casuals and really everyone. I know it's good to have a variety of multiplayer games to play, but it seems you can get by on 6-10 multiplater games than over a dozen single-player games.
