It's a proven fact that it is not motion controls or revolutionary platform games that defines innovation, proof of that is Wii's poor sales and last place this gen.

Get your facts straight Sir.

no

No, it is not getting any respect from the gaming industry. In fact, the behavior of the industry towards the wii is downright disgusting.

The only saving grace is that the general public gives it the respect it deserves.

And your point 1 was not smart imo. Nintendo is full of innovation. The view that innovation means better graphics is one of the HD consoles biggest problems. They ONLY improve the graphics. But MS is changing that with Natal. But it is my opinion that sony with the wand is not innovating, but merely copying Nintendo.

Your #2 and #3 sound about right though.

They're under-respected, and they don't deserve all the hate they're getting. The majority of the haters most like don't know 80% of the quality titles for it and what's coming later this year, monster hunter tri, red steel 2, mario galaxy 2 ect.

lol at innovative graphics. What since the advent of 3D gaming could really be considered a graphical innovation?

Ofcourse Wii doesn't get the respect it deserves. The only people who would say otherwise hate the Wii.

Of course it gets the respect it deserves through sales.

hmmm i didn't know the graphics was much of an innovation..


and no its not getting respect, from the gaming media anyway

Not from the development community, publishers or (especially) the games media. Even the financial sector's come around too slowly, and you still get crazies there predicting an eventual 360 and/or PS3 takeover.

Mainstream media and retail adore it though. As does the market itself, which is probably the most important part of the industry.

yes, by Nintendo and patcher

It gets every bit of respect it deserves, why pepole assume that only respect from the industry "counts", and not consumer respect is another subject.
