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

That's some good information you put together. I never realized how poorly the 3rd party software sold on Wii.

Everyone looks at the massive sales of Nintendo's first party games and assumes its a big software mover, but in reality its not. Only the well known franchises (like Guitar hero, and the big Nintendo franchises) have great sales on the Wii with of course a few exceptions

And keep in mind the Wii has over double the PS3 userbase and its getting owned!

 

Dude he only put the top ten sellers on the big three consoles third party wise and even left out SEGAs top seller on top of it.  Nintendo Wii killed the other two consoles in third party software sales last year (with little quality support) and it shows with the support they're finally giving Wii this year, period.  You're taking the OP completely wrong.

Obviously I left out Sega's top seller because Nintendo had a hand in it and it's using their most popular franchise. It's not like Sega had the option to put that game in any console of their choice. But you're smart enough to realize that.

The upcoming Wii games look lackluster but that's my opinion. Also it doesn't matter if the upcoming Wii games are of higher quality. They will be ignored for party games and more shovelware. Did you notice the 10 Wii games on that list are garbage while the 360 games are riddled in awesome?

As a Wii owner you should be angry at Wii sales trends, not me for pointing it out.
