The PS2 was the successor of the PS1; the most successful console ever. The Wii is the successor of the GameCube, one of the least successful consoles ever.

In other words, the third parties have bet on the wrong horse.

you're telling me they made a bet on a wrong horse five years in advance?

What do you mean?

if someone bets on a wrong horse , they'd learn in 5 years time you know?

do you think they are STILL supporting the wrong console without even knowing? , no

like i said its because on the Wii there are a lot of piracy so some core games (since most people who like these types of games will most likely pirate it) so what do developers do ?  they don't support it much (i am talking about the core games)

last gen the core and the casual were on a single console, so if developers support it (and its the smart way to go obviously) they can get the sales of both demographic markets, also have the appeal of both.
