You are right. Nintendo only cares about 1st party software sales. 3rd parties are still struggling on the Wii. I will admit they don't try as hard as they do on the HD consoles but it is pretty obvious that just about any half decent shooter (new or old ip) on 360 will sell millions very quickly and the same thing may or may not do well on Wii. Yes, the Wii Sports, Wii Fits, Carnival games, Guitar Hero, Mario Kart, Wii Plays of the world do well on the Wii but releasing a title aimed at gamers on the Wii isn't sure to sell.  And even if a core title does reach 1 mil the dev. could have spent their time on a Fitness or Mini game compilation and possibly done just as good or better with less effort.

I'm just saying that if the casual crowd doesn't come out and buy Nintendo's next console they may be hurting financially in a few years...  Also, it isn't graphics or even Waggle that keeps alot of core gamers from buying or enjoying Wii's.  I think it is the absolutely TERRIBLE online support.  There is a reason why tons of people support the 360 over PS3 and Xbox Live is a big part of it.  Also, don't kid yourself, casual gamers are far more internet savy than Nintendo would give them credit for.  Those same "casual" gamers have Facebook accounts and iPhone's/iPod Touches which could start to hurt Nintendo's portable share in the long run as well...
