I think third parties are treating the Wii the way they've always treated handhelds. Pretty much no western publisher gave the GBA really good support - and even Japanese devs like Square, Capcom and Konami who did some top teir GBA games held them back in some way (Kiddeh FFTA and Megaman etc). So what happenned? The GBA, despite being a sales monster, had a low tie ratio and was a Pokemon or Mario machine for most buyers.
And now with the DS smashing all records and likely to be the highest selling platform of all time, they STILL haven't gone anywhere beyond Dogz and Princez of Persiaz. The closest thing to decent sustained support from western devs was early PSP support, as they obviouly hoped their business models would translate to it.
And now the Wii is basically receiving the same strategy as they previously gave handhelds. Unfortunately for them, without the Wii the home console market is falling backward.
