Sorry - but I don't get it. Your point seems - well - pointless to me.
Wii has not been "screwed with" - rather the consumers who think the graphics are lacking and that this is a downfall have fallen for one of the longest running con jobs of the modern world.
The reason Wii will triumph in the end is because the whole concept has dragged the gamer out of the thumb twiddling bullcrap armchair garbage that he/she has been falling into since consoles entered the true mainstream 15 to 20 years ago.
The reason WII will triumph is because it moves at a sharp right angle AWAY from the needless complexity of control that moddern consoles suffer from by having those behemoths of hand held controllers that attempt to give the same versatility enjoyed by PC games but fail dismally (allways have and allways will) to deliver.
The reason Wii will triumph is that the Wii does NOT fall for the sex sells style graphics are all encompassing money making machine that the gaming industry has become. Rather Wii focuses on making an innovative and accessable gaming experience that encompasses all that gaming SHOULD have allways been, but never has been.
More and more people are realising they really want out of the wankfest that is modern console gaming, prefering something that can actually deliver an experience that enriches their lives by way of their limited hours of recreation, rather than simply drowning those hours in cut scenes and sureality beyond the level of user control and repeating experiences seen over and over again by gamers in repetative and boring monotany for the last two decades.
There is absolutely NO reason games like those you mention can not be released to wii. Simple minded lazyness and bone headed stubborn conservatism on the part of games producers is the only possible explanation. Game producers need to realise that the gaming population is changing in its makeup, and that more and more people are going to start to turn away from the glitz of the con job and begin seeking new and unique entertainment opportunities.
Wii will prevail. Wii will flourish. Wii will see spectactular things come "WiiII" in a few years time - but in the mean time, Wii will be all that Wii is, all that it can be, and more beside. Isn't that enough? I think so.
Nintendo - I thank you, and more than that, my thumbs thank you. Physiotherapists and optometrists losing gaming clients to a reduction of RSI and eyestrain may condemn you, but screw them!
