I don't think so. As a system, it can function extremely well with certain genres, not all, of course. The same can be said of the other consoles. The Wii was really ambitious, and people really haven't given it its fair shake yet. The DS was considered a MASSIVE gimmick when it first came out, but now, it's a hardcore gamer's dream. Why the change of heart? Because software dictates the gimmickyness of a system, and the Wii is slowly moving away from outrageous gimmickyness. Hell, even third party casual games are getting better."
I hate to disagree with you there, I really do, because there are not many loyal hardcore gamers like you standing next to Nintendo, like you do. I wish I had the patience for Wii, and maybe your effort of supporting them may pay off, since Madworld and Dead rising seem to be starting a trend with the Wii's gaming profile. I myself own a Wii, Playstation 3, and lastly an Xbox 360. I am by no means a fanboy (since I have experienced hours of gameplay from each system) , and my personal preference is fast paced, story driven gameplay, hince my gamertag, ADDG4m3r. I have always enjoyed Nintendo, and their strides to unite an entire gaming community. And they have, But I believe in the wrong way. The way I saw it, as Nintendo ushered in a new era to gameplay with the Revolution, I thought they would enhance the prospect of what it meant to be a gamer. Being a gamer means, you are open minded, you are a thinker and you enjoy yourself. Nintendo's Wii does that, but it does not deliver the type of effort the type of games I have in mind. The ideal games for me are Bioshock, Call of duty 4, Grand theft auto IV, Braid, Mass effect, and Dead rising. And only one of the titles I listed are coming to Wii in the soon future. The Wii caters to the younger crowd, who like simpler games. I believe a game should be immersive, like a film. The DS, you stated is a dream for hardcore gamers, I think of it differently, I believe the DS is too little too late. There are an abbundance of great games, but none last more than 2 months of replayablity. I also own a PSP, and it is by far worse than DS. So in my opinion, no portable gaming system have never been as good as it could have been. Nintendo is past my age level, I am on to experience bigger and better things, Like Fallout 3, Gears of war 2, Dead space, and Fable 2. But I humbly respect your patience for Nintendo's success in third party software.
