This goes to show the grave situation that the Wii is suffering in terms of their million sellers. Only 1/3 are third party.

Considering the general quality of Wii 3rd party games, 3rd parties can really be happy that they even had so many million sellers.

I guess if the Wii had 10-20 3rd party million sellers by now, people would complain that the Wii userbase buys every mediocre game that is thrown at them.

Yeah, Nintendo is the only company that makes good games, right, Rol'?

There are plenty of solid 3rd-party games for the Wii, but I'm sure you have another bullshit excuse for that, too.

 There sure have been some quality third party efforts on Wii thus far ( in no way even close to Nintendo usual standards ) but most of them were not very big names, or were not advertised at all.

I mean, Resident Evils have sold tremendously on the Wii, even though they are mature and hardcore, therefore not a Wii strength. Other titles may have not gotten platinum, but had very robust sales like         Zack & Wiki, No More Heroes, Sonic & Secret Rings and others.

Overally , I get the feeling that 3rd  parties on Wii are just pathetic; they complain that they can't sell their games ( especially in Japan ) or that Nintendo first party steal their share, yet they don't do something to counter these problems. I feel like they're trying to fight a tank using slings. 

And don't tell me there are no ways for them to fight for some piece of the pie. If Resident Evil 5 was a Wii exclusive, it would reach ~3m at least. Or a Final Fantasy game with the same production values as the main series. The sole company to have moved this way seems to be Capcom with Monster Hunter 3, a move which I think will prove them SO right.
