No doubt ...
I don't think that it would be fair to say that the Wii's third party game sales were fantastic but it is not performing all that poorly either. Where I do thing the triumph for the Wii has occured is that third party games on the Wii have been selling at decent levels even though they're (in general) not that good of games.
I'm not trying to be overly hard on the third party developers, but I do think that many developers didn't see the potential for the Wii until E3 2006 and then they started to rapidly port games or start original development; most of these ports have been pretty bad. There are exceptions, I think Ubisoft got a lot right with their original Wii games but lacked time to polish a couple of them, and EA has been generally very good at porting games.
