You forgot to finish your thought with "and are a huge risk that provide limited reward."

Nintendo is smart, and read the marketplace better than I thought. They are producing tightly designed, but simple games that are fun and don't require a huge investment in time or intellect*. They have cornered the casual market by regressing (for lack of a better term) games from the borders of high art to the base pleasures of "fun". Thats not a slander on Nintendo by any means. They are a business and not a non-profit philanthropic organization. The Wii allows them to reduce development costs while raking in a high profit margin.

Its just smart. And I want one.


*Before anyone starts yelling about Zelda or Metroid, my omments are referring to Wii Sports and the like. After all, that is what really pushed the system sales.
