It's not that people weren't willing to pay for Wii games above mobile game prices, they clearly did. The problem is that mobile phones became more powerful than the Wii and DS faster than Nintendo probably imagined, and the value was lost. The other factor about the Wii which worried me was that 3rd party authors didn't have the success that Nintendo's own games had on the console. It seems that Nintendo have only themselves to drive game innovation.

I've owned nearly every Nintendo console and my memory seems to be that this has been true the entire time. The highly successful games for Nintendo consoles have been Nintendo games, despite a few exceptions here and there. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that most people purchase Nintendo consoles for the purpose of playing Nintendo games. I personally see nothing wrong with that as long as the buyer's are happy with it.
