First with licencing fees, then with expensive cartrige format...Nintendo has a history of crippling 3rd party devs when it comes to making games for their system and wii is no different. Look at multi million sellers for the wii and take away the nintendo ones...5 games left, 1 of which is any good...RE4(port). In comparison...there is 26 million 3rd party sellers for xbox 360 and wii has 3 million more consoles on the market.

Microsoft and Sony pay you to make a game for them(exclusives)...they make ads for your games...they give you ways to promote games online with videos and demos. Nintendo doesn't bother with any of that...they just look at how to promote the next mario game and resell you an old game with new controlls.

Why would THQ or anyone else bother?

Actually, the Wii has 7 third party million sellers, and in less than 2 weeks that's 9 million third party sellers.

I can't believe people are still doubting that the Wii can sell third party software. Not as well as the 360, true, but MUCH better than the PS3.

In addition to that: third parties haven't put much effort to make their games sell on the Wii, plus the development costs are less than half than of the PS3 and also significantly less than the 360.

Wii = profit

I refuse to count Mario and Sonic olympics as 3rd party. Sorry...

I guess i missed carnival games...on purpose probably as I did not want to embarass the wii in saying thats a million seller. :)
