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

One thing a lot of people don't consider is that many publishers have over-done the (so called) "Casual" games on the Wii because of how successful it has been with unconventional gamers ...

If you go back through the generations you will see that most third party publishers have desperately tried to make games which appealed to people outside of the conventional gaming demographics and have had very little success. Many of these companies realized a long time ago that unless the game market grew beyond its traditional boundries there was a limit to how large the industry could become; but they were trapped because they had no (real) knowlege on how to break into new markets.

Many publishers (at the moment) are so focused on developing the Madden/Halo/GTA for the (so called) "Casual" gamers that they would ignore the oportunity to produce a highly profitable multi-million selling game for the Wii unless it falls into a genre that conventional wisdom tells them (so called) "Casual" gamers are interested in.

Yeah it's a known fact that all developer/publisher companies are headed by stupid executives that never try to increase the profit their company makes...

Seriously the constant criticizing of gaming companies for not delivering what people want on the Wii is really getting old...

These guys mostly know their job and their bonus/stock options depend on how well their company do so if there was a way to reap huge profit on the Wii, they would be all over it...

And if you think you know the market so much better than them. Why the heck don't you start your own company ???
