I definately wouldnt call the Wii a failure but in respect to 3rd parties they put themselves in a rather difficult position, games simply cannot be ported due to both the comparative weakness of the hardware as well as the interface. Games have to be specifically made for the platform or greatly altered and coupled with the costs of redeveloping and the all too common lackluster sales of 3rd party titles it makes it a bit more of a commitment than many companies are willing to make. I do think the 3rd party situation will get better as Sony and MS introduce their motion sensing technologies since it will be much easier for multiplatform titles....its the first time I can remember addon peripherals actually benefiting all consoles. I do think the next generation will be closer in specs for all 3 though which will benefit 3rd parties as well.
