Well, all three systems have very valid reasons for lagging in third party support (cartridges/sales/power). If Nintendo's next console is roughly equal in power to Sony's/Microsoft's next it will have more or less the same third party support as those consoles. The PS2 days of exclusives are over as development costs have increased and shareholder returns decreased.
Third parties don't develop for Wii because it's expensive to downport and there's a bigger market for their blockbuster mature games on 360 PS3 PC.If they didn't had to alter their games to be on Wii 99% of multiplatform games would have been there as well. Companies don't hate Nintendo, they just don't want to put extra effort in to change their normal way of working.
