Well considering that there has hardly been any 3rd parties release a quality game for the Wii system, I'd say that 3rd parties are doing really well. I mean people always complain, such as the devs themselves, that 3rd party games don't sell on Wii, yet they release crappy games and expect them to sell. It's hypocritical. Games need hype and for the hardcore, good reviews to sell. If you don't get that then your game won't sell well. Not to mention spend some money on some god damn marketing every once and awhile. Take a risk. Wii has a userbase of almost 19 million. Its a risk worth taking considering shorter development times and cheaper development process.

If devs start doing that, 3rd party games on Wii will show just as much success as they do on PS3 and 360. But no 3rd party can complain right now cause either they aren't making good games, or the good games they make aren't being marketed properly. But they can have success, they just have to treat Wii just like 360 and PS3, only risk taking is less risky.

But in Japan the main problem is they are really unwilling to buy anything that isn't already an installed IP. There's no reason to take a risk in Japan, because they won't buy new IPs or really anything made by a smaller dev. So that's a real problem in Japan. Has to be from a well known company or a well known IP. Japan getting a little to picky.

Would you share that list with us ? 

Sure, it's here:

 All i see there it's how great the Wii it's doing in terms of software sales, since it's actually the console that sells most software week after week.

Seems like you don't know what you are talking about.

The guy's obviously a troll. 

i want some AAA third party titles on the wii..... i'm happy the way sales are going

You're wrong.  A lot.

No reviewer claimed that the game was a AAA title with huge production value.  And no reviewer claimed it would sell millions.  You're stretching the truth.  IGN liked the game because of the gameplay and the difficulty of the puzzles.  They started their campaign because they knew it wouldn't sell well.  They wanted to make sure that other developers wouldn't be scared of trying something different on the Wii.  Point and click adventure games work very well with the Wii remote.  I hope the mediocre sales don't scare developers from making more of them.

Also, no developer or publisher uses money and manpower to create something they expect to fail.  That's just stupid.  Companies don't spend money for fun.  They're in it for profits.  They may not expect millions of sales, but they certainly expect a profit.

And finally, you clearly haven't played the game.  I have.  The reviews of this game were dead on.  I consider it to be the most original and challenging game on the Wii.  I liked it even better than SMG (which I found to be a "walkthrough" game [way too easy]).

  I am looking for the list about the 42 Games that have sold above 250,000 units (not including Wii Sports and Wii Play), and 81 games that have sold more than 100,000 units.

As for developemnt costs.

StarcraftManiac said: I'm still hearing people complain about the Nintendomination on the system. Nintendo might have the biggest sales, i'll give 'em that. But 3rd parties are definitely NOT lacking in Software sales. Remember. A Wii game is much cheaper to develop compared to a PS3 or X360 game: I guess one can make a profit on a mini-game on the Wii with 100k+ sales. A bigger title (A+) would be 250k+ Ww. The really big budget titles (quite rare on the system a.t.m that haven't been rehashed like RE4) would be 400k+.   Taken from the Ww weekly chart. In order: Rank(Wiionly)/System(Wii)/Name/Pub&Dev/Week/SoldWeek/TotalSold. 4 Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Sega 7 495,194 1,972,353 7 Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Activision 8 135,159 1,125,215 11 Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga LucasArts 7 99,683 506,030 13 Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 Ubisoft 6 86,751 461,082 14 Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles Capcom 6 85,450 597,610 15 The Golden Compass Sega 3 76,271 211,624 17 WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 THQ 7 72,921 395,446 18 High School Musical: Sing It! Konami 7 70,489 442,488 19 The Simpsons Game EA 8 69,988 379,059 20 Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition Capcom 30 66,129 1,239,277 23 MySims EA 14 51,589 600,553 39 Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros Treasure Capcom 9 16,184 152,982 Even Zack and Wiki is giving Capcom a profit ...   But i just want to make clear that, although Nintendo games sell way better on their system, 3rd parties are definitely making a profit on the system! Games like GH3 are keeping up with the PS2 and X360 versions. Lego Star Wars on Wii outsells every other version. Exclusive (crap, but that doesn't matter) games from Ea like MySims are making a profit with 600k+ sold Ww. 3 3rd party Millionsellers in the list (Red Steel and Rayman Raving Rabbits 1 make 5)... Lots of 500k+ potential, also from games not represented in this chart. All across the bord... Wii definitely ain't no Gamecube!

 Well first off those are the only good games that are out for the Wii. If you look at all of the third party games you will see that most of them suck and people are not buying them at all. Some games are so bad that they are not even worth renting!!!
