I want to know what third party developers have to do to get Wii owners to buy there games? EA gives Wii owners a exclusive title that scores really well and nobody buys it because its a on the rails shooter. Hell Activision is given Wii owners CoD4 ( One of the best FPS of all time ) and some of you bitched about it being too late and the graphics looking bad. Capcom, EA, Activision are trying to reach the "other" Wii crowd by making good games and very few are buying them.

Do you honestly think that these companies are going to keep throwing Wii owners a bone with sales like this? You know maybe if they throw Mario in as a playable character or gave you Links crossbow to use more people would have bought it. It worked for Sega and Sonic.

Genre matters.  A lot.  Just because I want a FPS or a TPS does not mean I will settle for a rail shooter.

As for games being late, do you remember what happened to Bioshock?  It released a year late on the PS3 and sold like crap compared to the 360 version.  CoD 4 is coming two years late to the Wii.
