The Wii should have had a flood of PS2 ports, but of the great ones.

I just cannot understand when people say that third parties killed the wii, I mean when the good AAA games come along they DON'T SELL. There are many many examples:

1- No More Heroes 1 & 2

2- MadWorld

3- Red Steel 2

4- Prince of Persia (heard the wii version was really good)

5- Conduit

6- Many Multiplatform titles that simply do not sell on the Wii and sell on the HD consoles.

 

Then there are also additional ports such as the Resident Evil archives games adapted to the Wii-mote which didn't even chart in this site. 

Nintendo games sell very well on the Nintendo platform, no doubt. Mainly because Nintendo software usually means quality and people are just used to that.

I think it is a smart business decision from developers/publishers to stop supporting the Wii with those types of games, because if they do not get a return on their investment, why should they care? To please fanboys? 

So in the end, to me the blame is on the customers who don't pay for AAA games on the Wii and that have forced the devs/publishers to make those tough decisions of stopping support for the platform all along.

The failure for most to recognize what a AAA game actually is continually baffles me.  All these games would've sold worse on 360, or PS3, or probably even PS2.  Some did in fact.

It's from this notion that any core game is a good as the other (and that any casual game is as good as the other).
