Im not trying to insult the Wii because it is a good system with alot of potential...but lets face reality here game developers are afraid to go head to head with Nintendo's first party titles...such as Mario and Zelda...

They always sell Multi-Million copies of their 1st party games....

While 3rd party developers sell in the millions too is not as much as lets say...Wii Fit...Wii Sports...or Mario...or Zelda...so 3rd party developers see this as a failure if they do not put up numbers that are on par with those first party titles....

What do you get in the end? Lazy Developers just trying to cash some money in by releasing dumb on rail shooters...or shovelware etc...

Stop buying the shovelware and this trend will stop...they would never release some exercise game on the 360 or Ps3 why? cause they know people wouldnt buy it...

The trouble with that line of thinking, is that it's a no-win situation for Nintendo as far as third party support goes.  If we can agree the Wii is at the stage before there has been any full fledged effort by third parties (yes, the definition of 'full fledged effort' is up for debate, but let's assume it to be true for the purposes of this post):

 

If the games don't sell well, third parties conclude there is no market for their games on the system, and stop all further development for it.

If the games do sell well, third parties think their efforts are 'good enough', and treat it as a green light to keep dumping shovelware on it.
