third parties aren't supporting the wii coz most of their action/rpg/strategy ips are made for core gamers. yknow, gamers who actually play games long.
the wii's user base is primarily casual. they play the waggle nintendo things for party kicks and whatnot. so when you see call of duty flop like hell on the wii, you understand why: there are very few core gamers who buy games for the wii.
so third parties have no choice but to go to the 360 and the PS3 because the wii's audience just simply doesn't buy their established ips. you think that metal gear would sell on the wii? no way. the casuals wouldn't even understand what it is.
in the end of it all, its basically because the third parties cannot let go of their established ips. they aren't willing to make shovelware for the wii, and prefer to make blockbuster AAA titles for the core gamer for varied reasons (if you ask Kojima, he said it is his duty. whatever). i think we need to be thankful for that.
