Third parties need something, that's for sure... the ones which aren't losing money, are making less profits than they used to.
In this generation, Nintendo offered third parties a big userbase on a console with lower development costs. A platform which has sold quality 3rd party games well enough, taking into account the genres of those games (how much do you think Zack & Wiki or Madworld would have sold on any console?).
Apparently it was not enough for third parties. They want something a bit easier, or with better graphical capabilities. This is a fact, not speculation on my part. There are developers like Infinity Ward who have said graphics are the reason why they don't make Wii games.
I know some people will say I'm giving "excuses" for the "bad" sales of some Wii software. Let me ask you this... aren't developers also using excuses to justify why their Wii games don't sell as much as other 3rd party Wii games have sold? And what's worse, me using excuses (if that's what I'm doing, which I don't agree with), or developers using excuses? Who's running a business?
