The bold part of your statement is how I meant it, but I don't find it negative.
The only reason anyone should care about 3rd party support, is to feel confident that large production house will make games for the Wii. To those production houses, they don’t care about total volume of 3rd party sales. They just care about how well their prospective title could sell.
In order to glean that information out of Wii sales, you need to dig deeper into the numbers then what the OP did. I am not implying in any way what those number would be if you did look deeper into them, I am just saying that the analysis is incomplete when trying to defend against what detractors are arguing.
