IMO people are too quick to blame Nintendo and/or Nintendo Fans. There is a MASSIVE difference between 3rd party support on PS/XB and support for Nintendo systems (even when a franchise is successful).

Take the ‘Tales of’ series. Symphonia was a big success on GameCube yet all Wii got was a shoddy sequel while XB and PS received Tales of Vesperia, Tales of Xillia 1/2. Yes Wii received Tales of Graces but not outside Japan (this was later ported to PS3 and released to the rest of the world).

Resident Evil 0, 1 & 4 were also decent successes on GameCube yet Wii only received two on rail spin offs from Capcom.

Final Fantasy? Decent successes on DS yet no love for the home console. While XB and PS received Final Fantasy XIII / XIII 2 and Lightning Returns Wii received FF Crystal Chronicles.

Soul Calibur? Released on GC but again skipped Wii.

The same pattern can be seen again and again. Even Sonic which is probably one of most loyal 3rd parties at first shunned Wii with two on rails games (Sonic & The Secret Rings & Sonic & The Black Knight) – Sega even skipped releasing Sonic Generations on Wii which in my opinion is the best Sonic Game in a long time.

I would buy more 3rd party titles IF the decent version of those franchises were available - but on the whole there arent any (looking forward to Bayonetta though!)
