Just before I start, your argument is completely flawed. Whether it wins on multiplat titles or not doesn't matter. The Wii is shaping up to have roughly as high software sales as Ps2, and same for hardware. It will win in profit, and probably revenue, but lose in market share - but honestly, who cares about that. How third party sales are, doesn't really matter a lot, but still, that's what my post will be about. (I wrote the rest before the above 2 paragraphs)
We know that not all games do well on Wii. But no console can say that all games have done good on them. I believe Wii has an awesome share of games that went with profit, but I cannot prove that.
Remember that the developers (or publishers) don't care about the revenue, and for copies sold matter more than revenue. Revenue is kinda meaningless.
Another way of looking at what you said:
Third party software sold (roughly) in Others, in 2008.
Wii: Total software: 29.7M Third party: 9.6M Third party AR: 0.83 Revenue market share: 23.5% Hardware market share: 43.2%
Ps3: Total software: 18M Third party: 14M Third party AR: 1.91 Revenue market share: 41.1% Hardware market share: 27.5%
X360: Total software: 14M Third party: 12M Third party AR: 1.54 Revenue market share: 35.3% Hardware market share: 29.1%
So for third parties, the Ps3 and X360 are beating the Wii with ease.

Publishers and developers are business, revenue and profit is what they care the most about.....
