Thanks I was having trouble talking and it's much easier when you just put words in my mouth for me.
I'm upset at certain practices by 3rd parties as it relates to the Wii but i'm not satisfied with certain practices by 3rd parties as it relates to the PS3 either. And judging by the posts here regarding inferior ports to the PS3 from the 360 I would probably not be alone.
Ubisoft could release a Dogz/Catz/Aardvarkz/Hungry Hungry Hippoz title every week for the Wii and I would still sing their praises if they attempted to release a quality core title for the Wii.
Capcom didn't port DMC4 or Lost Planet to the Wii but nobody cared. They've primarily thrown old ports from the previous generation at us but they are still considered one of the better Wii 3rd parties as they also tried some original effort for core titles with RE:UC and Zack & Wiki.
EA is a company most gamers despise but many Wii owners haven't complained nearly as much about them due to their actually taking the Wii seriously with a ground-up designed for Wii Madden and core titles like MoH:H2, Boom Blox, Godfather, and others. People don't care about them having released MySims or EA Playground when they also try to make a quality effort for core gamers.
I could go on and on but i'll just sum it up. Wii owners aren't upset at 3rd party support "period". Wii owners get upset when developers ignore the core gamer userbase and leech off the casuals to fund projects for HD gamers. No Wii owners have "Boycott Epic/Bioware" sigs. Neither company supports the Wii and both have representatives who have actually come out against the Wii philosophy vocally but they don't try to simultaneously take advantage of its userbase either.
