It was higher in 2009 at least, I doubt it's higher overall since the start of the gen.
I don't know if third parties overall have profited more on Wii, it's hard to say and it's also unfair to average both costs and revenues as that hides the variability between games. I don't think the approach third parties have to Wii, that is releasing tonnes of shovelware in the hopes that the games get picked up by a poorly informed consumer, is likely to yield much profit, nor do I think that making 'casual games' without understanding your audience will yield much either.
But I do think there's plenty of profit made on third party Wii games, and the barrier for financial success is obviously lower.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
