I agree with the article.

How often do you see a hardcore non-Nintendo game on top?

Counterpoint: How often do you see hardcore non-Nintendo game?

 

I dont see what Nintendo fan boys are so upset about.  The article is obviously true, Nintendo dominates software sales for the Wii.  When good, that third party games are released (you'll usually see a thread were Nintendo fans are begging people to buy the game) they dont recieve many sales.

Not really it sells just slightly more then 3rd parties (and i dont really know how is this a problem). Now if you please to refresh my memory, list good third party games that truly bombed on the Wii (oh and remember that No More Heroes indeed sold well, and Madworld sales are encouraging).

Lets look at your two examples of third party games doing well on the Wii:

Madworld - 100,000 units

No More Heroes - 390,000 units

Compare that to what Nintendo games sale and what good third party games on PS3 and XBox 360 sale, the argument becomes a no brainer.  Nintendo's market is all about brand, there's no reason for third party developers to test the waters with new, high quality IPs when they'd be lucky to sale a few hundred thousand units, especially when similar effort on the XBox 360 and PS3 results in big sellers.
