Developers want to make bigger, better, flashier games. The Wii's hardware will not allow them to do that.
It seems quite a few would rather face financial peril than take the step down to the Wii's level.
Nintendo can't do anything about that. It's just a matter of waiting and seeing who's left at the end of this generation.

I don't think thats it at all. I think they still believe they can sell more copies of their "style of game" to 360 and PS3 owners than they can on Wii, in alot of cases its true but in other cases its not. Look at the genres of games that are suddenly competiting and in some cases surpassing the PS360 totals, sport, adventure, platforming, rhythm, etc. One by one the Wii is knocking them down in case you haven't noticed.
Im hopin HOTD does something magical in the next 6 months, not for onrails sake but for mature gamings sake. It looks like Madworld is sleepwalking to a million so thats half the work done. I dont think Conduit is going to do it, i think another 2 or 3 COD's will. RS2 for sure.
Dev. will notice that although Mushroom men, Deadly Creatures and other games have died more importantly other titles haven't. They have been selling better and better as market share grows.

I don't understand how you can, on the one hand, say developers aren't making games for the Wii because they don't see profit in it while on the other hand pointing out genres on the Wii which are selling well.

Maybe its not about profit at all, its about units and PS360 moves more. Im saying dev. are making better games for other systems still and only now are trying to make Wii games at the same level of quality. Because of this more varietys of genres are selling better on the Wii
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
