I figured out why the Wii doesn't get better third party support

You were right Rol.  This has gotten many more replies than my well written Monkey Ball thread.

I'm afraid the real reason that the Wii doesn't get better 3rd party support is not what you're saying at all though.  The truth is that 3rd party developers have to compete with Nintendo for sales when they put out games for the Wii.  They don't have this problem when releasing stuff for the other systems. 

Nonsense! 

We know that the reason Nintendo games sell so well on Nintendo platforms is that they're generally the highest-quality software available on the system.  But we also know, thanks to the objective and honest source metacritic, that the other systems have better games available.  Shoot, a downloadable indie game was of higher quality than Nintendo's flagship 2009 title.  Therefore, 3rd parties are not afraid of competing with Nintendo for sales, because they're already on systems which have generally higher-quality software.

Okay then Einstein.  If Nintendo's games are the stink that barely rises above the log known as Nintendo's 3rd party support, then why are there any Wiis sold anyway?  And if 3rd parties aren't afraid of competing with Nintendo,  then what is your explanation that their support is so poor?
