lol Mike, that's exactly why I didn't buy the PS3 or Xbox 360. It IS true that the game library for those consoles largely cater to the hardcore gamers; in fact, some people may conversely refer to the Wii as a "sissy" console because it rarely has games catering to the hardcore audience. Of course, there are a number of interesting PS3 games I've seen, but not enough to make me buy the console. I suppose it depends on what genres of games you're into. I don't really like to make arguments on the console war since everyone has different tastes.

Companies choose consoles based on marketability, compatability, and/or loyalty. If you're suggesting Mike that this game would've been better marketed on the Wii, then perhaps the reason it isn't on the Wii is for compatability issues with the hardware. I remember that in the past, Nintendo's consoles lacked the graphical capabilities to support certain games compared to the ultra-powered engines of Sony's and Microsoft's consoles.
