i'm soo sick and tired of the wii fans whining all the time about 3rd party wii support. the wii got tons of third party support. but they did it in they way that third parties always to it ... they saw which software was being sucessful and tried to cash in on that sucess.
wii fit sold more than 20M units and for that you got dozens of fitness games.
wii sports/wii play sold more than 20M each and for that you got dozens of mini game collections
smash bros sold over 10M and for that you about a dozen quality fighters
metroid barely cracked 1.5M for that you got really nothing.
third parties chase sucess, that's just what they do. they see a market and try to capture it. nintendo showed the most sucessful markets on the wii were fitness and mini-games and that what third parties tried to cash in on. HD consoles get almost nothing but shooters and that's third parties trying to cash in on the success of halo/CoD.
third parties are not responible for creating markets .. that's the platform owners duty. if you want to blame anyone about what kind of games you got on the wii blame nintendo for not trying to create that market on their system.
and while your at it consider this ... for all of the "casual" success nintendo had they haven't been able to recreate that since New Super Mario Wii a few years back in terms of software and the 3DS seems to be showing nintendo missed the mark entirely with that hardware. this "causual" market isn't exactly an easy market to crack. if nintendo can't cater to this market consitently why do you expect anyone else to be able to do that?
