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?


Elementary, my dear amp.  

Wiis sold so well because the masses are stupid sheep who will throw away tons of money to buy whatever is trendy at the moment, even if the product itself is inferior to other stuff on the market.  We know that trends are set by celebrities (because who better to follow?) and that Nintendo shelled out cash to buy celebrity endorsements.   Therefore, the only reason that Wiis sold is because Nintendo bought celebrities to pimp their s*** to the idiotic masses.

Regarding why 3rd parties aren't on the Wii, game developers are artists, not cutthroat mercenaries, and artists deserve to have the best tools at their disposal.  Wrapping up two purple lunchboxes into an Apple rip-off facade makes for a terrible easel: artists need the greater power of other systems to create stories which rival Shakespeare and Oscar-calibre dialogue.

It's perfectly obvious, really.
