Nintendo has proven their games are in huge demand with every console they've released. If every 3rd party developer could just create what Nintendo does everyone would be rich.
If you don't think the HD consoels have many quality titles, than the Wii must be abysmal. That's just an ignorant comment.

It seems that you are implying that only games that you or the "hardcore" gamers would like as quality.
ESPECIALLY when you follow it with comments like "Also the userbase seems to be mostly intrigued with genres like party games, edutainment, and anything Mario."
Just because it's not a game designed for a 16-24 year old male doesn't mean it's not a quality title. There are a ton of quality titles on the Wii that appearantly just don't appeal to YOU. There are a lot of people out there (56.69M) that they do appeal to.

I'm definitely saying the HD consoles offer superior titles. But if you're a Nintendo fan, 1st party is great on the Wii.
Those 56.69M want 1st party games. Even with that large userbase it moves less 3rd party software than the 360.

HD consoles offer superior titles TO YOU, but most of the Wii owners don't want those games or they would be purchasing Xbox or PS3. They're buying the Wii because it offers superior titles TO THEM.
Those 56.69M don't want 1st party games, they want quality games. The Wii isn't 56.69M Ninty fanboys. That's just another tired excuse that you're repeating. A very large portion of Wii owners are new gamers that purposefuly purchase what they know will be quality software.
The Wii moves less 3rd party software than the 360 because it doesn't get real attempts by 3rd party developers, hence the whole point of this entire thread.

To me, reviewers, most HD owners, PC gamers, people that pick the GOTY, etc.
You don't have to be a fanboy to want Ninty games. But looking at the sales charts its clearly what most Wii owners want.
3rd party developers make plenty of money making low budget Wii titles. When they do put a great game on the Wii with a bigger budget, it tends to sell less than the low budget party games for example. Clearly 3rd party developers are motivated to create what typically sells.

I also think looking at the sales charts it's extremely clear what people want: QUALITY SOFTWARE. It just so happens that the only company that provides that on the Wii is Nintendo.
And you, reviewers, most HD owners, PC gamers, people that pick the GOTY can all share the same opinion if you want... but that doesn't make it a universal fact.
3rd parties don't release big budget games on the Wii. They give it low budget games, and though they make money that way, they are becoming irrelevant to a large userbase of new gamers by teaching them that they make garbage software. Then they say, "look that crappy, low budget, spinoff game that we didn't advertise only sold 200k on the Wii, while the main series game with a huge budget and tons of adverts that we released for 360/PS3 sold 3.5 million. Obviously the Wii doesn't sell software so we won't put any effort into the Wii." It's a terrible excuse and nothing more.
