I was generalizing when I said EA sports games and mini game multiplayer games only go multiplatform but you should get the picture. We need GTA4, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty, Resident Evils...if these games sell well on the wii then no 3rd company will have an excuse not to invest time and money in to the Wii ports.

Alone in the Dark will be a nice test...i predict that some casual gamers go for the PS2 version and hardcore gamer gets the 360 version (ps3 doesnt come out till november)  and wii sales don't do so well.

So again it's a genre issue, not 3rd party in general.   Funny you mention RE yet Wii has 2 million selling RE titles already.

 

This is where the problem is.  People typically don't discern the difference when they lambast the Wii saying 3rd party titles don't sell on Wii.   You mean big budget mature rated titles.   That's cherry picking a type of 3rd party title of which Wii doesn't do as well at but it is certainly not the whole of3rd party title range.

 

EDIT: Ajax, are you in the wrong thread?
