The Wii wil never get the kind of third party support that the PS2 had.

Well if the Wii doesn't, its sequel will.

Money talks. If Nintendo is the market leader next generation like they were this generation, developers will come around. The Playstation was built on casuals much the same as the Wii. And if Zelda: Twilight Princess is any indication, core games can sell on the Wii.

zelda is from nintendo, this is about third parties, nintendo got a following fanbase, zelda, mario will sell great of course.

but even so games like metroid prime don't sell as big.

games COD sell more on the ps3 and 360 with smaller userbase.

But it's CoD and it has a fanbase, of course it will sell, but how about other third parties.

Montanas post was about core games. It's quite obvious that the biggest names sell the most, no matter who developed the game.
Using the logic that seems to be pretty obvious in your post, it would be like saying that shooters don't sell on 360 because Halo sold so well.

Metroid isn't that big name as Nintendos other core titles, namely Mario and Zelda, so it's no wonder it didn't sell as well. I believe Corruption is the third best-selling Metroid game.
