Wow dude there is too many assumptions there, Wii sells 3rd party games well, just look at the list of million sellers (or the games close to the milion). And profit made by 3rd parties on the DS is just incredible so again you're off. Therefore average Wii consumer do not only buy nintendo games (casuals do not even tend to buy the main Ninty franchises). Oh and Guitar Hero sells most on the Wii, with CoD and Madden having a shot at million sold.

The problem is that big players like EA and UBISOFT do not concentrate enough on the Wii, they mainly send 2nd class teams to ports, if they're games would be better funded and developed they will sell even more, Nintendo and Sega make "BIG" games thats why they make so much money on the Wii.

Yeah, and Guitar Hero is the only 3rdy party franchise that went very well (> 2mio) on the Wii.

Please have a look on these numbers:

You'll notice that 15 of the top 20 seller (> 2 mio) are from nintendo (or their franchises "Mario&Sonic").

 

And now the DS charts:

Uuhh, looks like we have 18 Nintendo games in the top 20.

 

These number don't lie.

 

 

 

 

Yeah, the numbers numbers may not lie but your interpretation of them is pretty misleading ... The Wii has over 25 Million selling third party titles, and another 40 third party titles that have sold more than 500,000 units; which is pretty remarkable with the lack of any major exclusive third party titles having been released for the Wii yet.
