When will 3rd parties take the Wii seriously?

Well, if the Wii follows the route of the DS, then I would say when the Wii has about a 40M install base next year.

Since it is not there yet, you don't see Call of Duty 4 or Assassins Creed on the Wii, but you do see them on the DS.

 That is very true.

 

Anyways, all that Wii needs is for one 3rd party developer to make the leap and put out their top teams and resources (obviously don't put the company on it but you get what i mean) and try to make a new IP, or a new game suitable for the Wii. They need to make a creative and innovative take on some kind of genre, couple it with great gameplay and make the controls work for Wii. Then they'd have to spend lots of time on Graphics. But they can't just buy polygons. Because Wii is graphically inferior to its competition they need to focus on talent and art style, something that the Industry was slowly loosing. And, for the sake of reluctant developers the game would have to be "mature" in a sense, or revolve around an epic story and not like casual games.

 Once they do that, the game will get lots of backing from the non-casual gamers (and some casual gamers as well) and it will hopefully sell a million or millions if its lucky. With that, developer (seeing the sucess of the game) would be flocking to Wii, or if not, you have the one-developer-who-dared making millions and owning that portion of the Wii market.
