nintendo sells the most third party software

You're kidding right? Yes Wii software sales are pretty good, but over half of all software sold on Wii is from Nintendo themselves. And again most 3rd party software that does sale are cheap party games, old remakes or down-tuned 360/ps3 versions. Not saying there isn't anything good on Wii, there's more than enough. But as explained before, there are obvious reasons why the number of hardcore games on Wii is lacking.

"He says that the conception that Wii third-party developers can't have success is wrong. He did say that Nintendo took things seriously by launching Mario, Zelda, and Virtual Console swiftly. But he says that, last year, more third-party games were sold with Wii than any other platform, and the second-biggest was DS."

Talk quality and caveates all you like but your initial statement that "Wii has the lowest 3th party software sales", is wrong.

 

 

Sure he say's it sold more, but i don't see any real numbers. And VGChartz does show numbers, and those paint a bigger picture. More importantly though, it may be possible that the total number of 3th party software sold on Wii was slightly higher than that on PS3 and 360 but that's only logical since Wii has a much larger install base(so for it's actual install base, it really doesn't sell that well).
