Do you realize that the third party with crappy games hold above 30 % of the Wii market??? This is a good argument to push more quality titles on the Wii...

Well, how about those good 3rd party games that have been released on the wii?
Okami: 0,11m sold
zack&wiki: 0,38m sold
Boom Blox: 0,21m sold
NMH: 0,33m sold
bully: 0,22m sold
Not too good. Of course there are few exceptions, like RE4 which sold over 1,6m and PES 08 with 0,6m. Guitar hero sells a lot, but that is a very casual title.
Here is another way to look at third party performance in the market:

The XBox 360 is still the king of third party software sales in North America in 2008, but it also had the largest userbase for most of 2008 (in North America), and has a very large portion of its software sales allocated to a very small number of "Big Hits" ... The Wii is doing very well (in general) being that it has sold the second most third party software so far in 2008 and has a fairly even distribution of sales outside of a handful of big hits.
ummm, so the wii-sucksforthirdparty- myth is true?
And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.
Obligatory dick measuring Gaming Laptop Specs: Sager NP8270-GTX: 17.3" FULL HD (1920X1080) LED Matte LC, nVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M, Intel Core i7-4700MQ, 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3, 750GB SATA II 3GB/s 7,200 RPM Hard Drive
Hehe, this is kinda funny... My own thread's first page is too big for me to open.
But people, remember that Wii is much cheaper to develop for, so developing for Wii isn't neccessarily worse. It's just not as much better as some people seem to think.

Wrong, some third party companies have already tried to make good quality games but sells were not got at all, compared to games like wiisport and other mini games titles, so they better stick to making low investments, there is no need to change the strategy, since most wii owners are non hardcore( (my neighbor has a wii and has no idea what Zelda is)).

Top 10 Third Party XBox 360 games in North America in 2008:
These 10 games represent over 45% of third party games sold on the XBox 360, all featured Massive marketing campaigns, and most are based off of well established franchises.
Top 10 Third Party Wii games in North America in 2008:
These 10 games represent over 30% of third party games sold on the Wii, they all had some of the largest marketing campaigns for third party Wii games, and most are based off of well established franchises.
If you could look past your biases, you would realize that third party games are performing in the range that they're mainly because third party publishers are not supporting their games on the level they're for XBox 360 games. If Ubisoft spent the money on marketing No More Heros that they spent marketing Assassin's Creed (and Vice Versa) you would see these two games have inverted sales ...

Interesting, since all those games are low budget (and/or ports) poorly advertised tittles... even so, some fo them were able fill the expectations of their publishers...
By me:
Just goes to show you Nintendo = best 1st party =)
