A possible reason 3rd parties ignore the Wii...

Well it is obvious that FPS are going to sell better on PS360 than Wii (look at WaW), and so if a studio is used to developing on those platforms, and has an engine in place, then it is obvious to make a game like that

Then again, the 3rd parties could simply shift resources into Wii friendly games, but when things like Carnival games are selling many copies without that much resources put into them, I see no reason not to continue the way they are, but shifting slightly more to Wii as the recession hits the sales of PS360 more than Wii

This is exactly the problem the wii has. 3rd party developers see good profits on a really low investment. So they continue do the same. They have no incentive to do better or invest more in a game, because of decent competition or broad demand for quality. It acts out like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because the whole 'stupid kiddy console' idea took hold, they see very little reason to put more effort in the wii games.

 

Exactly, I'm surprised you even had to explain that to him.
