It's not about rushed games or bad games or any of the usual excuses. The problem is Nintendo gobbles up 2-3 times as many sales as a percentage as Sony or Microsoft because people buy Nintendo systems for Nintendo games (yes, this again). Great for profits, but don't expect anybody to actually make games for your system. The most groundbreaking game in the world wouldn't change that any. Of course, the dumbed down hardware doesn't help matters any either but does mean we won't see any ground broken regardless. To make matters even worse, the biggest success stories for the Wii have been Wii Play and Wii Sports. When developers do spend money, you can bet they'll try to mimic those games rather than come up with another Gears of War. If you want third party games, buy PS3 or 360. Period. The bad news is that once gamers realize that the good third party games are not coming out for Wii, its sales will sink. Gamecube had substantial support at launch. There's no way anybody was completely ignoring Wii. Perhaps they were taking it less seriously than they may be now, but plans were in place to develop for Nintendo.
