Wii 2 Unlikely For 2011, Maybe In 2012
An anonymous reader writes "As discussed on Slashdot earlier this year, the lack of a next-generation Wii may be hurting Nintendo. That doesn't seem to concern the company's US chief, Reggie Fils-Aime, who said this week that a Wii 2 might not appear until 2012. He wants to sell a few million more consoles before a successor is launched. So, no Wii 2 for 2010 or 2011 — meanwhile, the PS3 and Xbox consoles get motion control support and other content enhancements. What does that mean for the success of Nintendo's gaming console business? Has the innovator been out-innovated due to a sluggish product roadmap?"
"You're taking potshots at Wii games that you don't like,"
I'm not taking pot shots. I'm seriously discussing wide acknowledgement of LOWER GAME QUALITY, I must have played them to know they are of lower quality compared to past games, not only that I bought them on launch day. So please take your "fanboy defense" elsewhere. I'm trying to have a serious discussion about the merits and drawbacks of the Wii you come along taking it as a personal attack and "defend".
Perhaps you would like to see other M's Metacritic score? (79 FYI)

It's quote obvious that a lot of people are aware of the decline of many of Nintendo's franchises and the evidence is abundant on the net.
I'm not merely taking "pot shots" at these games, many gamers feel the exact same way. That the quality of games is going down in GENERAL across platforms. See: Supcom 2, Civ 5, etc, and look at user reviews and metacritic ratings.
