Of course a bunch of shovelware came out because of its success–and Nintendo released some great first party titles, but you have to remember that a portion of the demo who enjoyed Wii Sports and Wii Fit, are not going to enjoy playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl or Super Mario Galaxy. And, those who enjoy playing those memorable first party titles, eventually grew tired of the wagglefest that most Wii games made you play.
