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

Meh. The whole problem is that no 3rd party developer expected the runaway hit that Wii became. Once it happened, and they saw how successful Nintendo's 1st and 2nd party games were, they instantly tried to copy that success, without a lot of thought.

They saw Wii Sports and created over 9,000 sports-wagglefests. They saw Wii Play and pumped out over 9,000 minigame compilations. What they failed to do, however, was look at what exactly made these games successful in the first place, and study the people that bought these games.
The execs at Nintendo didn't just wake up one day thinking 'Hey let's make a new console with some wacky new controls, and a bunch of games that'll appeal to a lot of people to go along with it... we'll release it next month!' They *know* what they are doing. However simple their games may seem, they put thought and resources into them, they test them and care for them.

Unlike those 3rd parties who seem content to crap out as many thoughtless 'me-too' compilations without so much as a shadow of a shred of originality or quality as they can - pardon my French.

I say let 'em go, if all they are willing to do is the aforementioned garbage, then good riddance, let 'em take that stuff to PS3 and 360's new motion control devices. And best of luck to them, I'll stick to Nintendo then thank you very much. There have been too many great games for me to play lately anyway, so I'm good.
