To the folks talking about 3P support on Wii...

10 of the top 40 titles in the UK this week were third-party Wii games. That's not 10 of the top 40 Wii games, but 10 of the top 40 games overall. In comparison only two first-party Wii games were on the list... MK and Wii Play.

360 and PS3 had 7 and 4 third party games in the top 40, respectively.

So the third party support is here, and it is succeeding. Wake up.

I only counted 9, those games are..

1		1			GRAN TURISMO 5: PROLOGUE	PS3	SONY COMPUTER ENT.	SONY COMPUTER ENT.
3		2			MARIO & SONIC AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES	WII	SEGA	SEGA

Notice a pattern here?

@Zenfolder Even if you were considering success strictly in third party support terms, i'd say the the xbox is not dominating because while it has third party support and great third party games, it does not have a large variety of games from different genres. Having this well varied lineup is what made the the ps2 a ridiculous success (among other things, ofcourse), and for the time being I don't see this well rounded third party support on the Wii. This, in my opinion, is needed before any ps2-esque domination can occur. Once third party devs leave the shallow end of the Wii pool and take a little risk i think this could definately change.
