There is so much talk about Wii 3rd party sales, I am not trying to make a statement on whether it is worth it or not for Publishers and Developer have motivation to make Wii games. I am putting these numbers here to show what third party games have sold well in N.A.; many did not do as well as there 360 or PS2 counter parts. Depending on how much it cost to produce these games would shed more light on profitablity.
I will say that 3rd parties will continue to support Wii in one way or another. Hardcore gamers may or may not like what comes out, but these companies are more concerned with profit then whether anybodies happy.

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
