Seeing NMH and Metroid (which is the hugest Ninty "hardcore" franchise from last gen) sales on the Wii really does deterr dev's from making "hardcore" games I think. The Blue Ocean strategy has a consequence; expect many Blue Ocean games. It is very simple and 95% of the money made on Wii game sales will be this type of game (s).
I do think 3rd party support could improve in quantity, but I don't see the overall leap in quality. Don't expect everyone to suddenly start developing hardcore titles on the one platform that can't seem to move such titles very well at all.
