Just noticed something ... So far in 2009, in North America, the Wii has sold 20,740,551 third party games, the XBox 360 has sold 18,635,926 third party games, and the PS3 has sold 9,877,985 third party games.

When you factor in the releases of a couple of big third party games so far this year (like Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter 4), the lack of good third party support for years (preventing residual sales of third party games), and the dramatic difference in development costs across platforms, I think it would be difficult/impossible to argue that third party publishers are not doing really well on the Wii.
