"Most third party games don't sell particularly well on Wii (the exception being...how do I explain this without saying the word "casual"?),"

That's because most of the games MADE by third parties are casual. They basically made the situation they are complaining about. If they had started with hit core games from the beginning, the sales would have been different.

Indeed. But look at the ones which aren't casual (and are exclusives, and are considered quality):

  • MadWorld
  • The Conduit
  • Zack and Wiki
  • No More Heroes

None of them broke a million, and only one broke 500k.

Then there are games like Dead Space Extraction.

None of those games would've sold any better on any other platform.  Even PS2.

They're all also new IPs.  When we look at established 3rd party games (Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Sonic, Star Wars, Monkey Ball, Tiger Woods, PES, DDR, Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, Rock Band, Cooking Mama, HOTD, etc, etc) we also start seeing quite a lot of Wii million sellers.
