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

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.

No, of course it isn't that bad. However, I'm using reduce to absurdity by following your logic to an absurd conclusion. It's your determinant of "support" that I am using in that hypothetical scenario, and it is invalid.

And my point is that the Wii gets 3rd party support. You might consider it mostly shovelware, but it does get it. And it sells too!

What kind of 3rd party support it gets is of no relevance, because the kind that it does get sells.

Your point would be valid if it was not getting any kind of 3rd party support or if the sales of 3rd party Wii games sucked. That would mean that  most of the developers/publishers that were putting games on the Wii were losing money. But that's not true. They're making money. As the sales of 3rd party software show!

 

If this is about the Wii not getting the kind of 3rd party software YOU want to play, well... you know what I'm gonna say.

PS.: Maybe this is about those stupid 3rd parties who have been claiming that the Wii doesn't sell their games. You know those guys are the minority, don't you?
