Don't get me wrong. I support Nintendo and admire their capability of making excellent games. But we have to admit that 3rd party games have done much better on Sony and Microsoft consoles this gen (so far).

Think of it this way: the games making it to a million copies sold would've never made it there on the PS3 or 360, but all the million sellers on the other consoles would've sure as heck made it there on the Wii. Ok maybe not all, but it's fair to say third party millions sellers on the other consoles are generally extremely expensive projects by one of the developer's best dev teams, while the same can be said of very few Wii titles.

Imagine what'll happen when more and more developers get their act together and start putting big titles on the Wii. It's already started, and can go only one way from here on.

Yeah, and what makes you think third parties are doing well on the PS3? The ratio of third to first party million sellers is "better" than on the Wii, but that's just because Nintendo's first party games happen to be the best on the planet.
