1700. that not even that bad. The Wii isent going to magicly self destruct after Nintendo lauches its next gen.

All valid points, not to mention the size of the current user-base.... sigh...

exactly, but somehow, for some unknown reason most devs dont see those facts...
|
I think developers don't want to. I just remembered today that in early 2007, when it was clear the Wii was going to be a hit and investors wanted support, third parties said it would take a year or so to make the games. In mid 2007, when Metroid Prime 3 was being released, several boards, sites, and some G4 shows, started the talk about how third party games didn't sell on the Wii.
The games were not even out yet, and they started saying the games weren't selling. So they were lying that we weren't buying games it wasn't even possible for us to buy. Holding back games, save for a few token games, just kept up the illusion.

yes, I guess it was back then when all the third party games doesnt sell on the wii began, at launch nobody believed the wii could reach massive success, so the low support was "normal" by then, but then...? The wii was selling like crazy but the devs ignored that fact, resident 4 sold very well, metroid prime 3 sold a lot, zelda sold another bunch, but they didnt see those facts, they decided to wait/ignore the console. I think is probably too late for many of them, maybe Capcom could have something, but thats it... Now the question is, if nintendo reveals a wii2 with graphics and raw power ala ps3/360 or above, will third party support be as it is now with the HDtwins?
My bet, no...

Of course not. Nintendo has had the more powerfull console betwen them and Sony before. They just use different excuses each Gen. Now they wonder why some people actually wont buy third party games, or in many cases very few on a Ninty console. They ruined their own potential cash cow by putting out half assed games and in a lot of cases none. A lot of the 3rd parties in red $ wise deserve it for their stupidity.
For some reason( it has been said) the 3DS was made with 3rd parties in mind. When you have the best selling console of a Gen and all you get from 3rd parties is shitty support there is zero reason to try to make them happy. They will simply find another excuse. Nintendo has done a lot over the years to gain good third party support and for the biggest part it has not happened.
For now on I am only buying certain titles from third parties , and maybe a few surprises that catch me off guard. They will not have much support from me no matter the console I buy whether that be 3DS, NGP, or any current/future systems. A lot of them treated Wii owners like crap, so I say to bad to most of them let them stay red.
