For those who do not understand, people have to defend every time a Wii game does not sell -- but the same is not said for PS3 and Xbox 360 releases.

Maybe that's becouse Wii fanatics like to wave the flag that it outsells PS3 and X360 combined and whenever third party developer release annual results all those Wii fanatics are always crying they lose money becouse they release on HD systems.
But somehow when a game comparable to what is available on HD consoles comes and all dust settles on the sales it fails to reach any serious numbers unless it is collection of minigames or music game.
If Wii is so amazing 3rd party core game platform then why has CoD 5 WaW sold 3 times less than PS3 version - platform with less than half userbase.

That's easy to explain. The demographics who are interested in FPS games are much more concentrated on the PS3 than on the Wii. This also allowed CoD4 on the PS3 to outsell the bestselling FPS on the PS2 despite an even huger disparity in userbase than PS3 vs. Wii. Now would you doubt that the PS2 was a good platform for third party core games because of this?

Ok so let's ignore COD now let's look at the list - let's remove minigames and casual stuff getting to core games what we see highest is Resident Evil 4 at 1.84M - hardly what one would call amazing third party sales.
The point is Wii can sell tons of minigames, music stuff etc but it cannot sell hardcore game genres better than PS3 or X360 becouse it has much diffrent structure of userbase.

You are funny. Resident Evil 4 is the second port of the same game within a few years, and the original can be played on the same console as the port. The game sells 1.84M nonetheless and you call this "hardly amazing"? This is beyond amazing actually, especially considering that it outsold the original version.
And it is one way to look at the sales charts and saying that there isn't anything that sold good, but might I ask, what should have sold good in your opinion? There is no first-tier third party attempt that sold lower than the expectations were, if you ask me.

It's beyond amazing that no other core game was able to outsell second rehash of RE for the Wii. And shows how big problem really is. And well actually second bolded part shows also why core gamers don't like Wii I can't even think about anything else than Zelda, Okami or Fire Emblem which I would like to play there at all :)

Fine, It seems I was able to prove you wrong and you are even admitting it. If you compare your statement in your latest response with your original statement in your first post I cited (I bolded both) you see the contradiction. But I write it down for you anyways.
You first claimed that hardcore games comparable to the ones on PS360 don't sell on the Wii, but in the end you said that there aren't any of those games anyway on the Wii. This is not the Wii's fault however, it is the one of the third parties. This year this is going to change though since the shift of resources will be remarkable.
And on a completely different note, I like what you are doing Khuutra
