Why do most third party publishers ignore the Wii completely ?

This thread is about the Wii, not Nintendo franchises. How could you not even get the point of what I'm discussing?

So you really are thinking that a console should get respect and recognition for just selling. I always thought that a console is only a platform which plays games.. and those games should get the respect.

It's not "that" the system is selling well that commands those, but "why".

"I don't recall seeing any major publications "putting down" the wii, to an acceptable frequency that that term should be used"

It's not just directly putting it down. It's also putting less emphasis on things that should be of note about the Wii.

I would argue that the perception of publishers is that they're not putting core games on the Wii for precisely the reason "why" it's sold so well. Nintendo franchises, party games and fitness titles.
