It's all bullshit said by gamers who consider themselves "Hardcore" and are full of snobism and the fact that they are afraid that their grandma would play Call of Duty.
Yeah, even with the shovelware and not many functions or high-capacity, the Wii was never a failure and I love it so much that I sometimes feel like it's my favorite console, and it helped to put some interesting games and keep Plataformers as a relevant genre since the 360 and PS3 didn't have much of that from what I saw.
