Third Party Devs have made up their minds about the Wii.

Market sales =/= Market support?

How would that work? Where are the sales coming from? What are they buying? If there's no 3rd party support on the Wii, then where are the sales coming from? What are people buying? How are people buying products that don't exist?
If there was no 3rd party support on the Wii, there would be no 3rd party sales simply because... there would be nothing to buy.

Let's suppose we have two hypothetical consoles, console A and console B. Console A gets 50 high budget games with strong marketing etc. Console B gets 10 cheaply developed games, one of which is called Tetris Game. Tetris Game explodes on the market, vastly outselling the complex, high budget games.

By the standard you judge support, the existence of "Tetris Game" means that console B has the most industry support. But that's absurd, is it not?

Is it really that bad? Is the support really just one game that outsold everything?

I don't think it is because I don't hear about many 3rd party efforts on the Wii which have sold ridiculous ammounts (comparable to Playstation 3's and X360's 1st or 3rd party games I mean, as nothing ever compares to Nintendo's games). So I think it's pretty spread out.

I could be completely wrong, but I don't think the top 5 best selling 3rd party games on the Wii count for that much of the total 3rd party sales. In fact I think they count for much less than the HD consoles.
