Your own logic doesn't hold up.  If it didn't need persuasion, then why does the Wii considering it's the fastest selling console in history (faster even than the DS).  Shouldn't massive support for Wii be a no brainer?

No. Because of the direction Nintendo have taken it.

Big hit core games don't really have a proven market on Wii, where they have a vast proven market on PS3/360. The Wii early on was filled with party games and such. Those party games sold tremendously well coming off the success of Wii Sports/ Wii Play and such. The same happened with Wii Fit too and the sudden surge of fitness games. There is really no point in risking a bit blockbuster on Wii when you can sell 500k copies of some random party/fitness game with minimal effort and make a quick profit.

That is true to an extent, as it's a no brainer that third parties will look at big successes from launch like Wii Sports and whatnot and attempt to piggyback on that, but the Wii also had Zelda at launch. From memory that's sold something like 5million copies (forgive me if I'm a little out), which is nothing to look down upon. So if third parties were looking to piggyback on early successful games, why didn't they piggyback on Zelda as well as the rest?
