Why Wii Shovelware is a Good Thing

It doesn't matter how many times you try to explain this to Nintendo fans, because they will never get it. Numbers show that the Wii has the most 3rd-party support out of the 3 consoles. The Wii gets the most 3rd-party exclusives and most the most 3rd-party games. Yet, Nintendo fans still aren't happy with 3rd-party support.

The Nintendo Wii has 3rd-party support that can stand up with any other console.

ToS2
FFCC
RE4
Okami
Monster Hunter 3
Zack & Wiki
No More Hereos

Nintendo fans just want every game developed for their console.

Nintendo fans keep asking for 3rd-party support they already have, they just can't see they have it.

Given that Okami and RE4 are ports, I'd wager that all of those games combined cost less to develop than Resident Evil 5 alone, or Metal Gear Solid 4, or Gears of War, or many other PS3/360 games.

I agree with you that the Wii has more third party quality games than most give it credit for, but one could still reasonably argue that developers aren't investing heavily in the Wii. Here's the best way to show that: until FF:CC or MH3 come out, it's likely that Red Steel will still be the highest budget game on the Wii from a third party. Red Steel. Red freakin' Steel. 

Again, for emphasis, I absolutely agree with your point. People shouldn't argue so much about the Wii's third party quality. The real argument left to be made is the lack of economic investment, not quality.
