I notice a lot of people mentioning Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games as an example of how successful third parties can be on the Wii. It has friggin Mario in the title and most people buying it likely don't realize that Nintendo didn't make the game.

It's kind of funny that the Wii's most successful third party game is one that most people probably thought was a Nintendo produced game.

Why would anyone, especially non-gamers dismiss a game just because it's not made by Nintendo? Most buyers can't tell the difference between a first party and a third party game.
