Why do most third party publishers ignore the Wii completely ?

That was one, and it was bashed before it even came out. And then Modern Warfare showed Wii doesn't make HD games bad, so that's not a reason not to port to the Wii.

"which is sad, because we havent seen a true blockbuster third party game on the Wii."

Monster Hunter 3. The top selling third party game in Japanese home systems this generation.

FFXIII

I forgot about that. Oops. It was the bestselling before that. But it does show that making a hit on the Wii can be done just by making a hit game, not by making a niche game and acting as though it's supposed to be a hit (still looking at you, Extraction).*

*BTW, not niche because it's a rail shooter (Darkside Chronicles is already selling well), but because it's a slow-paced rail shooter.
