@bmmb1  i get it man, the analogy wasnt neccesary, but no one has proof that 3rd parties are COMPLETLY at fault when games suck at selling. (NBA Jam is all on EA) but what about Sega's offerings??? those "casual" titles sell well and those are mostly 3rd party. And has someone ever considered that maybe the audience for certain type of games of Wii(FPSs, fighting games) are simply not that large as the HD consoles??? It dont really matter at this point, 3rd party blows on Wii (not the games themselves) just play whatever you want and hope that some of the good 3rd party games that the HDs see makes it way to Wii (im not holding my breath)

Oh I agree the audience for certain type of games is not as large, and maybe has never been as large. All I'm saying is that I believe it was initially considerably larger than it is now, enough to make any good and well advertised 3rd party core game (had there been any at the time) successful and enough to have justified a much greater effort than any 3rd party has put at the time , but then due to actions and inactions of 3rd parties a lot despaired and have never looked back since, so now (actually since after E3 2008 I believe) indeed the market is no longer there (or at least it is much. much weaker).
