I think the Wii is getting enough non nintendo support to ensure sales stay the way they are and there seems to be a divide in terms of third parties. The bigger are cautiously throwing new kinds of titles to the mix seeing what sticks and to me personally Capcom and EA have emerged as my favourites in that order.
at the same time there seems to be an influx of smaller devs really jumping at the chance to make a name for themselves on the Wii and it's these that excite me the most as i've vowed to support Majestico as although they are releasing Cooking Mama titles Balstworks just looks amazing, High Voltage are looking to really make it big on the Wii with their own engines, creative Wii Ware titles and of course The Conduit.
Jet Black studios (http://www.jetblackgames.com/news1.html) is a classic example of one of these new smaller studios as they were only formed April 2007 and are currently working on their Jet Black engine for both Wii and Ds development so looking forward to hearing from them in 08 sometime.
On top of this who else can name a platform that has had as many PC point and click ports already as in Agatha Cristie, Sam and Max, Secret Files Tsungasi (all beit hardly belters but this is a trend i'd like to continue).
To finish my rant - this gen is gonna create a lot of new household dev names and the big ubis etc will learn this gen isn't just about them.
