For those that are discounting the blu-ray, keep in mind that Sony plans on manufacturing 12 million BD's this year, and have made 3 million already this first quarter of the year. They are expanding production capacity to 30 million.

Currently PS3/xbox360 games still have a higher install base than the Wii.

They can manufacture all they want. If the demand isn't there, it isn't there. The entire HD-movie market is still less than 15% (i believe) of the entire movie market (and only half of those are Blu-Ray).

I dont think developers will really ever give the Wii the "big games". However, I think the trend of "small meat" will be over after E3. We should see some "medium well meat" games coming soon, as more developers jump on board. Still, developers are too afraid of change, and it is doubtful that the Wii will get the big franchises, or simply spin-offs of big franchises.
However, if EA's new game division, EA Casual Games (AKA Wii development Team), is any indication, we wont be seeing Call of Duty 4 on the Wii (Of course not the PS3/360 game, but not even a spin-off).
