the thing is that 3rd parties NEVER put REAL effort for Wii games
if they put the effort and investment Nintendo puts, including game development and game promotion the game will sell, hardcore or not
Monster Hunter 3 is a real example of effort and promotion, leading to sales!! Had ton of content and online.
Little King's Story was awesome, a lot of effort into game development, but had bad marketing a bad promotion, like many XSeed games.
RedSteel 2 is great effort, has awesome gameplay, but lacks content and online. Also, i believe it will sell in the long run...
Just Dance needed no real effort from the developer, but was something new and creative, simple, which made it to sell.
obviously, they also had to use Wii's power (motion controls) which is a reason to play Wii over other consoles and multiplayer in most games makes them appeal to Wii owners, like many games that sell just because of multiplayer
Another is thing is short Wii games, which means no effort in developing the game, which means that core Wii gamers buy it,finish it in 5 days the most and then give it to other people, so there's no reason to pay a lot of money to buy, or they just rent the game.
3rd parties lack creation and effort.... overall, they develop Wii games thinking/saying like "it won't sell anyway, so why bother"
don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
