Are they really doing any better on the Wii? How many new IPs built from the ground up on the Wii have met with a lot of success? The list is very small and the biggest success for third-parties, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has Mario in the title.
People can point to budget titles and talk about success all they want but how many such titles would a large third party have ot make in order to get the kind of profits they're used to? The market would be flooded if they attempted to do that.
