Very wrong.
Let's take the Wii for example - using Metacritic's top scores for 3rd party Wii games:
Rock Band 2 - 1.00 Million Units Sold
Xenoblade Chronicles - 0.83 Million Units Sold
Rayman Origins - 0.42 Million Units Sold
Resident Evil 4 Wii - 2.13 Million Units Sold
Okami - 0.52 Million Units Sold
Those are the top 5, 3rd party games on the Wii. Two were over 1 million units. That's absolutely horrendous for games that have a >90 Metacritic score.
You can defend it all you want, but even the fantastic Wii titles like Xenoblade have pitiful sales worldwide. Had Xenoblade been an HD affair, it would have likely sold 3-4 times as many copies, worldwide.
The Wii/WiiU caters towards a specific crowd. That specific crowd does not buy large amounts of non-Nintendo core titles. Comparatively, the 3DS/DS appeal to almost everyone, and 3rd party sales are generally better among top-tier titles.

Xenoblade is a first party game. It's also overtracked so that helps your debate. But then your agument falls apart if you actually believe a JRPG like Xenoblade could sell 2.5-3+ million worldwide on HD consoles. That's just laughable. Point me to one JRPG on HD consoles that's not FF that has sold similarly.
Okami didn't sell well on PS2 either.

Dark Souls is at 2.1 million units and climbing. Add in PC, and its closer to 2.4 million.
