Nintendo was the only big developer of the VG industry to truly invest time and money in developing games for the gamers that were not the hardcore ones. Nintendo has many years of experience and know-how in designing games for this audience and the fact is that most 3rd party developers don't jump on the Wii train not because they don't want, but because they can't.
For many years, almost all games were targeted mainly at the hardcore gamers. It created the concept that only the traditional gamers will buy games. Nintendo broke that paradigm with Wii and caught the whole industry offguard.
Nintendo is NOT destroying the industry as many have said. They are changing it.
i believe that only at the end of this generation there will be more 3rd party support for the Wii. Will will see a lot of games from big developers that will be total crap but that will be used as experiences to learn how to develop games for the causal gamers audience.
