Blaming Nintendo for the quality of 3rd party releases is beyond ludicrous.
It is not only in their best interests to release the best titles on their own platform, it's virtually an imperative as that has been the standard for Nintendo consoles since the 5th generation of consoles.
But as for expecting the major 3rd party developers to suddenly have an epiphany and put all their 1st string development teams on Wii projects, that's very unrealistic.
The primary benefit for developing on the Wii is reduced overhead costs and faster turnaround time. Add the allure of a larger built in user base, and any developer that does not publish on the Wii stands to lose a lot of potential sales, assuming said developer designs games suitable for the Wii market.
The 3rd party games will improve over time; it's a given. Specifically Wii coded middleware should help accelerate that although expecting one engine on the strength of one tech demo to suddenly make the Wii the 3rd party platform of choice is also unrealistic.
