No because 3rd party developers are stupid. I mean how else would you explain their lack of credible software on a platform that single-handedly saved console gaming. It boggles the mind at how stupid they are and I shed no tears when they report losses or close down studios because they only have themselves to blame. /rant

How did Wii save anything other than Nintendo?

3rd parties are doing fine on Wii, they are aiming at the biggest wii demographic which does not happen to be you.

Nintendo's responsible for pretty much all the growth in this industry for the generation.

Besides, there are plenty of 3rd parties who've banked on Wii.  Sega, Hudson, Capcom, Activision, Ubisoft, LucasArts, Disney, Atlus, MTV, THQ... and not exclusively with casual games either.

The only 3rd party I can think of who really bet big on Wii and did awful as a result was Marvelous, and they (1) said it wasn't due to the platform but rather their own mishandling and lack of promotion and (2) they also started faltering on DS/PSP at the same time, and all their PS3/360 games have utterly tanked too.
