Again, this is an issue of appealing to the Wii demographic. It's radically different on the whole from the demographics of the 360 and PS3. While it does contain elements of those systems' demographics, it contains a much broader one as well which is being catered to by the successful first-party titles at the moment (and by occasional third-party ones like Carnival Games and Raving Rabbids). Series recognition has nothing to do with this newfound success; most of the top sellers on the Wii have Wii in the title, and thus had no series to speak of prior to this.
For a third party to truly sell well on Wii, they will have to produce a game that there is nothing like out there for whatever reason, which appeals to the newer demographic. This is the precedent Nintendo is setting with Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit, and the other Wii-series games. It's the same basic precedent-setting method they used 20-some years ago with Super Mario Brothers, which met similar results: imitators and previous-generation games from third parties at first, then studios who "got" it started making the third-party blockbusters, and then the market became third-party-dominated.
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
