Meh. Once upon a time it would have been an important milestone. Now that it's completely clear how third parties feel about Wii, it would have to get to ~60% to matter.

Even then, I don't think it's going to change the third parties' view of the Wii. I'm willing to bet that, if there were more Wii systems in the wild than PS360 systems combined by a fair margin, third parties would just move the goalposts again to justify not developing for the Wii. Going into the fourth year of this generation, it may well be too late anyway, especially since third parties have done such a good job of making the Wii's audience suspicious of the overall quality of their games on the Wii.

This is easily the weirdest generation of the console wars, to say the least.

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Is marijuana the best medicine?

Plenty of time to transform those misguided feelings 3rd parties have. I have a feeling the Wii will be around for many years to come, like the NES, Playstation, and PS2.

And just as importantly, any inroads Nintendo makes this gen could help them in future gens.
