Nintendo and other companies have done very well on the Wii...Wait, scratch that, ONLY Nintendo has benefitted from Wii. The DS and PS2 are doing well with 3rd parties in Japan, but the Wii is just a failure in that respect. The only 3rd party that has managed to release a game with the sales of 250K is SE (maybe one of the DBZ games sold that much). Everything else...what' the word--oh yeah, flopped.

People should really start to worry when games like No More Heroes, Opoona, Dewey's Adventure, and many other games struggle to even reach 50k. I know it's only a year into the Wii's lifetime--I also know that a lot of the games are no better than horse excrement--but you can't deny the fact that games really aren't selling over there. Whereas in America, the Wii seems very healthy for 3rd parties, despite what many peopel say.

DS & 3rd parties where awful at 1st-2nd year as well (where 3rd parties put only crap on it). Look at them now (Level 5, Square Enix, Capcom,etc)
