You pointed out the console's hardware limitations as one reason why third parties don't put much resources into their Wii titles, then cite Nintendo stating that they don't want their games to have high budgets.

Brawl is one counterexample. It may not be Metal Gear Solid level, but it doesn't have to be. You can still make a high budget game for Nintendo consoles.

I'm trying to imply that third parties don't put much effort into Wii or Wii U games. It's not that they can't, but they just won't. The WiiU being weaker is not an excuse for less effort. Not every game or third party system focuses on HD graphics that require the PS4's power. What's their excuse?

I also listed Wii/PS3/360 generation games as examples because despite the WiiU already being out and the PS4 and Xbox One coming soon, they're not out yet so that generation is still too young to make final calls. Lack of third party support however is not something that started with the WiiU. It got even worse, yes, but comparing poor to very poor isn't saying much.
