I guess that problem is not Nintendo or Third Parties... the is Wii gamer that didn't buy Third Parties games.

So low sales... and lack of interest of Third Parties developer others games for Wii.

But DS (high Third Parties games sales) is another case... and Third Parties support it very well.


It's a catch 22.  3rd parties don't make attractive Wii games so consumers don't buy 3rd party Wii games so 3rd parties don't make attractive Wii games so etc.  With DS, 3rd parties actually brought AAA content rather quick (in Japan at least) with market builders like FF3 or Phoenix Wright and it turned out well.  On Wii they didn't, they waited until it was too late, then threw out a few worthwhile efforts, and it mostly didn't pan out.  Too little, too late, and it's hurt both Nintendo and 3rd parties really.  Hopefully everyone wakes up for next gen, 3DS is encouraging at least...
