THats not true at all. There has been little to no success for any developers outside of nintendo on the wii.

Valkyria Chronicles is about to break 600k while demon's souls is sure to top 500k.

Demons Souls is a Sony game.  There are more 3rd party million sellers on Wii than PS3 btw (41 to 32).

The situation is the same with Mario and Sonic. Nintendo published the title in Japan, but did not directly develop the title.

Not exactly, Nintendo only co-owns the IP (only a third if we could Mario, Sonic and the Olympics evenly) and the publishing arrangement was worked out beforehand.  Demon's Souls is a 100% Sony property and FROM was simply a contracted developer and Atlus only a 3rd party publisher who licensed the game after the fact.

It's more like if Nintendo let Atlus or someone else publish Metroid Prime in America.
