I think third party devs have a mindset that gimped Wii games will sell anyways....

The way things are running, most third parties sooner or later will realize that their current approach won't work and that they have to make better games for the Wii if they want to stay in business. If they don't... well, that's their problem.

Why? The userbase of the PS3 and 360 go up every day. Each day the potential for profit goes up and once you have an engine built you can reuse combined with developer experience which grows with each new undertaking on the respective platforms you have a recipe for productivity. Developers may have trouble on the first PS3 game or two, but once they figure out its kinks their costs will drop. On top of that, HD graphics are the future. The more developers focus on the non-HD graphics, the more handicapped they'll be in the next generation when every system is HD bar none.

Developers who support the PS3/360 won't suddenly go out of business because they don't support the Wii and it's more than likely they'll be in a much better position skill-wise next generation if they support the other systems.

It's like you want to be in the stock market and you ignore Wall Street; or into movie producing and ignoring Hollywood. You just cannot turn your back on the market leader. You'll do your best to get a share of the pie.
