I would have to agree. Nintendo has taken it easy for the first year of the Wii and 3rd party developers have been slow to bring something interesting to the Wii (though I personally have over a dozen titles).
I think we'll see a big second wind go into it this fall and into next year...Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros Brawl, Wii Fit, Mario Kart will show the strength of Nintendo's truly big guns.
For the big picture, this may also be a sign that Japan has become a handheld nation. The Wii will be the top console, but might not be able to approach the level of the DS (likely). Japan has a history of favouring handheld titles...the console games only begin to appear at spots 10/11 in the Japanese all-time sales.
