@bdbdbd: Who ever said anything about porting? They are lazy because they believe they don't need 3rd party support. For example no 3rd party dev knew about Wii motion plus before E3. They are too closed and are not willing to help third parties. Very big mistake like in the N64 era.
Maybe Nintendo got the casuals in their pockets so far but they need to do something about the core audience, for example by pressing 3rd parties and suggesting them some ideas for games, sharing technology, resources and people. Some third parties will move onto the Wii by their own means, but other wont until they see Nintendo is at least enthusiastic themselves with the Wii.
BTW hiring a 3rd party dev to make a 1st party franchise game is not really getting 3rd party support at all.
