@ endurance Hopefully the support will be better support as well. I disagree with Avinash somewhat, in that to say 3rd party are lazy for the Wii and not for the PS3 or X360, I don't think is true.
Think of it as a sport event, say football (either one, both work for the example). Put the college team up against the pro team. Who wins? The pros. Is it because the college team is lazy? No, they can play their hearts out, but just that their talent and experience just aren't at the same level as the pros.
When the Wii sales get noticability higher than the other 2, (smarter) 3rd parties will shift their better development teams to the Wii. Closer to Nintendo standard of games will come out, and the 3rd party sales will improve as well.

 Oh I think they are lazy on PS3 and 360 as well, its just that the standards are lower since there is no developer like Nintendo to compete with on a 360 or a PS3, so its much easier for a third party game to get its foot in the door then it would be on a Nintendo console

If they are as 'lazy' on the PS3 and 360 as well, then their companies should start to fire some of their 'lazy' employees, when it costs $15-30M+ to get a game out for them. 

But I have to disagree, since ultimately it is the buying public that decides what standards should be met and what those standards are.  That is, what makes it fun and worth wanting to play.  Enough X360 and PS3 3rd parties games are selling well, which says that those standards can be met. 

Which is why I maintain that Wii right now gets the 2nd lvl teams to develope games.  When 3rd parties see that Wii games done with flair that captures the Wii gamers fancy, make a ton of money, then they will shift their priorities.  Some are doing that now.  The question is, will they do it correctly?  Or just make very nice games that the Wii gamers don't care that much for?
