Why has Japanese 3rd party support almost completely ceased for the Wii?

I think Japanese developers are lazy overall to be honest.

DS and PSP apart.

I would not say lazy, i think it's more about competeing with Nintendo's 1st party which get's most of the lion's share for promotion of software. when was the last time Nintendo promot's I mean put's big promotion for third party software?

you hear all the Time

3RD party game's or hell even 2nd party game's win award's all the time on both the xbox360 and the PS3 but

if you look at what win's award's on Nintendo's system's which 3rd party's get noticed?

I think that's one big hurdle, Nintendo's system's though very good and fun, the majority of software that get promotion is most of the time 1st party over 3rd party.

to 3rd party that's a big problem.
