Third Party Relations - 4/10, awful, and don't go blaming 3rd parties either, saw a quote on gaf the other day. 'If you throw a party and nobody turns up, it's not the people that didn't turn up that's at fault, it's the host' (or something to that effect anyway) think it rings true to Nintendo. They just expected 3rd parties to come to Wii, didn't seem to work with them or offer incentives ect (just look at MS on how you should treat 3rd Parties)

To expand on this analogy:

Nintendo threw the biggest party in town with all the hot chicks being there (the paying consumers, what everyone is after), but third parties decided to go on a geek party, because Nintendo didn't send limousines with chauffeurs to third parties' offices.

The ones likely to buy their SW anywhere near the rate of the HD consoles ... I doubt it. I'd change that from hot chicks to average chicks. Whilst the hot chicks were at the party next door. If that's what it took to get the 3rd parties on board, that's what they should have done.
