It's because very, very few talented development teams are working on the Wii compared to the PS3 and the 360. Most third parties have their best teams working on the PS3 or 360 (see: EA, Ubisoft, Capcom, etc).

THIS is what continues to baffle me the most, not that people are ignoring Wii in sales discussions, but that 3rd parties are actually ignoring it and acting like it's a last place console when it's a first place console. And they are giving the losing consoles the most support. This industry is so amazingly ass backwards you simply have to stand in awe of it.

With rare exception, 360+PS3 sales of a game exceed the sales of a Wii-only game.  Because of this, it is seen as a better business decision to develop a PC/PS3/360 title (or PS3/360 title alone) than one that also includes the Wii.  Game developing on the Wii is fundamentally different, and the Wii is able to do less than the high def platforms.  I would say this is a large reason why the Wii has been ignored, unless the console makers are going exclusive.
