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

Can you really blame them? I mean the same issue happened on the Gamecube. 3rd party games just have too much difficulty finding any success on Nintendo`s latest platform. It also doesn`t help that many 3rd party titles that have been hyped on Wii never ended up being anything more than average 90% of the time. A buddy of mine won`t even buy anything but Nintendo games anymore for his Wii because everything he had bought didn`t live up to what we expect to be a appropriate quality anymore. You can blame Nintendo on this somewhat also because they continuously fail to provide good tools to 3rd party developers and publishers.

Uh, Sony has shitty tools and a shitty architecture (as many developers said), yet it's getting tons of games. Obviously it helps that the PS3 and 360 are equally powerful which makes it not too hard to port games.

Which brings me back to my idea that hardware capabilities and related things (such as graphical whoring from many devs part) is perhaps the biggest reason why many developers never wanted to make Wii games.
