The question is not, "Do third parties hate the Wii?" The real question is, "does Nintendo hate third parties?"
Microsoft: Create a system with the needs of third party developers held in highest regard.
Nintendo: Create a system to fit the needs of Nintendo and let third parties fit in around that.
I wonder if a lot of the issues surrounding the controls/ports onto the Wii were caused by Nintendo themselves not releasing some of the tools they use internally to create Wii games for other developers to use.
And the specifications of the Wii are designed exactly how Nintendo wants them, they don't need high performance for their games. Third parties can take a flying leap for all they care, if EA had asked for more ram you know where Nintendo would have told them to stick it.
Tease.
