Agree 110%. Will the Wii have more 3rd party titles available than PS3 or 360? Yes, however the OP was ambiguously worded as "better." In my opinion quality trumps quantity, and the higher quality 3rd party games are all on PS3 and 360. That's not going to change

Ah, but you can't paint in broad strokes and still be considered correct, or in opinionated terms "valid."

 

I think some people get offended when I say their opinion is not valid. However, what I mean is, "Your opinion has a very small chance of being correct."

 

Now, if I said "The PS3 has no games." My opinion would be invalid(and very childish in its presentation.)

 

If you say "higher quality 3rd party games are all on the PS3 and 360" your opinion would be invalid, because certainly in the Wii's lifetime even thus far it has seen some "higher quality" 3rd party games, or even just one, however, just one makes your absolutely stated opinion provably incorrect.

 

Instead you should say that most AAA 3rd party titles will end up on the 360 and PS3.

 

The devil is in the details, and sometimes how you word your opinion changes it from absolutely incorrect, to perfectly plausable, with all due respect.

 

In other words, I fully respect your opinion, but I think it has been proven wrong with releases of games like RE4, Okami, Bully, Guitar Hero 3, Rock Band, and Zack and Wiki. 

RE4 (Port)

Okami (Port)

Gutar Hero 3 (no DLC) 

Rockband (gimped,is coming very late compare to the other versions)

Zack and Wiki (low budget game,sold badly)

 I could go on with the list,but I'm not a troll and this is just my opinion, it makes me angry when people try to make the Wii third party line up good.I am sure it will improve post-E3 but for now is poor ,saying than the wii has good third party games is like saying than the psp library is better than the DS(You see I don't hate nintendo,I own a DS).

 

I'd like to point out few problems in your post.

One problem is, that Wii already has the best 3rd party games released this gen so far.
Another problem is, that what's wrong with ports? They are games, aren't they? Besides, if we count out ports, PS360 3rd party support doesn't look serious in any terms anymore.
Third problem was, that DLC is coming to GH3 (Wii version is said to have the best guitar) and Rockband coming to Wii indicates someone waking up to reality and giving Wii some support.
Fourth problem is that you suddenly turned sales to equal is a game good or not. Usually it takes a good game to sell good, but a game being good doesn't automatically mean good sales.

So, what you actually said to Zen, was that RE4 and Okami are good games, but they are ports (which is irrelevant) and GH3 and Rockband are good games, but less featured (they are also ports, which apparently didn't matter in this case. Less featured does matter, but the games are still on the Wii), while Zack&Wiki is a good game, but it sold badly (now this depends on Capcoms expectations) and was made with a small budget (yes, the costs are why Saturn and N64 got better 3rd party support than PSX, since devs wanted to use more money on games that are on platform that sold less). Big budget or a game being good doesn't guarantee game selling a lot, but small budget on a less selling good game usually warrants a sequel.

I can see why you didn't want to carry on, but please feel free to continue.
