Why don't people get a wii for nintendo games and a ps3 or xbox 360 for third party games (e.g., Capcom's SFIV...)?
Also, LP2 et al. were also released on pc which was another source of income. Though a crap game is a crap game and I certainly hope Capcom didn't get much of a profit (if any) out of those games.
Another thing...it may be that developers prefer to make games for the HD consoles over the Wii. It will be interesting whether developers will make games move/kinect compatible or simply stick wth what is tried and true.
Either way, the issue of 3rd party games has plagued the wii ever since its release. I sure hope Nintendo will workout a way to fix it for next gen.

The problem is the public chose the Wii, and as third parties sell games to the public, they are supposed to go where the public chooses. That's how business works, unless you want your company to stagnate and finally collapse. And history of all businesses show that will happen unless they change their ways.

Well, ps3 and 360 have a combined market share of over 50% and then there is pc as well. This is important because it makes development on HD consoles (more) financially viable.
