There are 105 third party million sellers on Wii. That alone shows claims they can't sell are nonsense.


Lets look at the top 20.

1. Just Dance 3
2. Just Dance 2
3. Just Dance
4. Just Dance 4
5. Zumba Fitness
6. Lego Star Wars
7. Micheal Jackson THe Experience
8. Carnival Games
9. EA Sports Active
10. Guitar Hero World Tour
11. Mario and Sonic Olympics
12. Disney Epic Mickey
13. Cooking Mama Cook Off
14. Lego Batman
15. Zumba Fitness 2
16. Sonic and the Secret Rings
17. Skylanders Spryo Adventure
18. Deca Sports
19. Game Party
20. uDraw Studio

So,
5 Dancing games
3 Fitness games
4 mini game collections (and one features Mario...)
2 Lego games
2 platformers
1 Music game
1 Cooking game
1 Toy collecting
1 drawing game.

Well, from third parties WiiU has at least one of, if not more of:
A dancing game
A fitness game
Minigame collections
A lego game
Platformers
Toy Collecting
Drawing game

No music game (to be fair the genre died from overmilking, nobody is getting another Guitar Hero), no cooking game, though I'm sure this is a matter of time.

Seems to me third parties are looking at what sold best on Wii, like you, and releasing the same games for WiiU.  Most of the games on WiiU are in fact the same series as was on Wii.  WiiU is HD now and games need bigger budgets, so naturally the top sellers are the best to look at.

They're still third party games that sold well, and they don't invalidate the existence of successful traditional games like Sonic Secret Rings/Colours/Unleashed, Epic Mickey, Goldeneye 007, Resident Evil 4, Monster Hunter Tri, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, COD 3/W@W/MW/BO. These kind of games can succeed on Nintendo systems. The move to HD might mean games are more expensive, but for the moment it also means multiplats can be more easily and cheaply ported to Wii U than they could to Wii.
