No...
I don't know about you, but if I've already paid for a game once, I'm not the type to enjoy paying for it a second time just so I can keep enjoying it on a new console. Not adding backwards compatibility to a game, then making it available in a virtual store is just their strategy to get you to pay more money for things you alrady have.
If we are talking about distant generations like N64 or gamecube to Wii U, that can be understandable, but compatibility between consoles like Wii to Wii U and PS3 to PS4 should be a standard, even more when consoles like Ps3 and Xbox 360 will keep getting games for at least a year after the next ones are released.
As for games on Wii, yes the quantity of good games on Wii is small compared to the PS3, but the experience you can get from these games is really one of a kind which cant compare to anythng on PS3/360.
