3rd party developers made huge margins on Wii games that were re-invested for the development of more risky and expensive AAA games on Ps3/X360.  While most people tend not think about it, Ps3 and X360 users gained form the success of Wii too.

Excuse me? ok. let me understand what you are saying here. Are you saying that third party devs would release games on the Wii, then make a LOT of money from that game, then rather than keep investing in the platform that made them all that money, take it and go make AAA games and release those exclusively on other platforms???

Yes, that's what they did. Since the Wii allowed them to make great returns even without great budgets, it was used as a cash cow for all its lifetime. The scale of production of Wii titles didn't get noticeably greater with time, the scale of Ps3/X360 productions did.
