Who believes Wii's successor will have better third party support?

Third parties don't develop for Wii because it's expensive to downport and there's a bigger market for their blockbuster mature games on 360 PS3 PC.If they didn't had to alter their games to be on Wii 99% of multiplatform games would have been there as well. Companies don't hate Nintendo, they just don't want to put extra effort in to change their normal way of working.

Actually its very cheap to down-port games. All you need from a development perspective is a few interns which means very little in terms of overall cost. It is far easier to tear things out wholesale than it is to put them back in. This is from one of the horses mouths (developer) who worked on all three systems at once. I don't think its specifically the quantity of work required to make the games, there are multiple angles beyond this which better explain the whole picture.
