Why do most third party publishers ignore the Wii completely ?

Geez....people are still arguing about this? 3rd party devs have always had the freedom to do whatever they wanted. Back when the ps2 had 70% marketshare, some 3rd parties chose to go xbox exclusive with their games (think Panzer Dragoon, Ninja Gaiden, DOA, etc). There were no tears, everyone moved on because it was their loss. This should be the ideal attitude of wi fans but we get non-stop complaining instead.

Now, fast forward to the wii's gen. The wii hasn't obtained 50% marketshare yet yet it already has raging fanboys who think every game should be on their system since its 1st place. The industry ain't that simple. We were mostly given the idea that the wii ushered in a new type of gaming so why would a wii fan be clamoring for games like MW2 or Street fighter? These games still follow the "old school formula. It doesn't make sense to me.

You should buy a system for the games that are already on it or that you're sure would be on it in the future not because of mere assumptions based on marketshare. It'll save you headache. Instead of whining to capcom that sf4 or RE5 isn't on wii, perhaps you should get a 360? It's just as cheap as the wii. Some people list of games they think should be on wii that are exclusive to HD platforms are quite long. If you wanted those games, wouldn't it have made sense to have gotten a HD console instead of the wii? On the contrary, if you think Mario and Zelda are ultimately more worthwhile than all the 3rd party HD exclusives, then don't complain.

The point is you said "some" third parties and acting like there's any kind of parallel between between 3rd party support for the consoles, it's not "some" there are literally 0 AAA 3rd party titles on the Wii, in 3 years at 50% marketshare? Doesn't ZERO seem like kind of an odd number to you?  No one said "every game" and again you're creating some kind of extreme fantasy request to make it sound like your argument isn't a complete pile of shit while at the same time downplaying the fact that there has not been, to date in 3 years, one single solitary AAA 3rd party title.

Could care less about SF4 and MW2, but that level of EFFORT would be nice by 3rd parties for the Wii.

Again, your argument relies so heavily on these magical extremes I can't even figure out why you bothered to type it.
