the reason why most 3rd party software don't sell on the Wii is because they are either half-assed ports, or quick cash-in attempts at the success of the Wii.

Take a look at Capcom, they invested on the Wii and got huge profits from it.

 

Eh have you checked the We Love Golf and Zack & Wiki sales lately? Zack & Wiki bombed hard in Japan and the US and We Love Golf did even worse in Japan in its first week.

 errrr... I only stated the reason most crappy 3rd party don't get profits

I didn't say good games can also get crappy sales. I think you completely ignored that there are other factors that can make a game successful. For example in Zack and Wiki's case, lack of advertising and it being an unproven new IP really hurt its sales. Also, we have to consider the culture of where the game is released, for example in Japan where most people are more conservative and tend to only buy proven IPs. You also forgot that Z&W also falls under the niche category and isn't exactly mainstream.

 The real test for Zack and Wiki will be in Europe where Point and Click adventures are more popular.

 I really don't understand all the NERD RAGE whenever the masses don't buy the games you want. Its not like we can control the Japanese culture in an instant
