Why do most third party publishers ignore the Wii completely ?

The wii is aimed at a different audience. Had it not been for casual gamers, and parents wanting to get their kids "a non violent system" the Wii would not have sold as much. With that in mind, most of the market, and limited hardware of the Wii prevent it from seeing a lot of titles.. Others get a completely different game from the HD consoles, just, use the same name... Like... Sonic Unleashed.

Had the Wii had the audience, and hardware to support the games, or, at very least, the audience, it would have most of the games. That's why a lot of games don't sell on Wii.. People who wanted the game already have a 360, or a PS3.

Right ... Because casual gamers are the kind of people who will repeatedly line-up for the opportunity to buy a system for (roughly) 2 years, or pay a massive mark-up over the retail price on an arbitrary day in the middle of the year; and the more family friendly image skyrocketed the Gamecube to massive success.

I find it odd that 90% of PS3 and XBox 360 fans will claim to own a Wii that is "Gathering dust" (which if true could be blamed on lack of decent third party support) and yet claim that no one would play the games they complain the Wii doesn’t have. The only logical explanations for this is that these people are liars or they are in some sort of existential nightmare where they don’t believe that they exist.
