It should be noted that we can purchase almost two to four Wii development kits for one Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 , which as you can appreciate for a small company can affect our budget a lot |

that no body will defeat Xbox Live in this generation. I'm 100% behind Sony in the console wars but that is just a sad fact for the time being. This is Sony's first real generation going online with their console, it will take a while to be better (but it will). Wiiware may be cheaper and easier to develop games for, but the fact that it is cheap will reflect in the game.

the developer that has been quoted here seems a little stupid. I don't care how cheap a development kit for the Wii is, everybody knows that third party games would do better on PS3/Xbox 360. Since when did Nintendo start caring for any developer other than Nintendo?

They're not trying to beat the whole online service. We all know that's not going to happen for anyone this gen, and with friend codes, they don't stand any chance next gen of dismounting Live either.
But this isn't about the best general online service, it's about the best system for small developers to go to.
What you're missing here, is that this isn't about huge budget games. The low price of the Wii is only going to work for it. These downloadable games don't have the same graphics as Halo or something, they're all going to be evenly matched there, and they're not going to be huge, expansive, resource heavy games either. Every system is on equal footing with this. It's just the Wii is cheaper, and because these are small devs, with very little money, the Wii just has that slight edge when they're choosing the system to release it on.
Nintendo might not be the most supportive for third party devs, but with Wiiware, it's not going to be any different to the XBL or PSN.
It's small, downloadable games. What could any company do to help? They don't need to be able to access every possible bit of the system, so the system owners can't do anything for them.
I don't know what you've got against Nintendo, but don't try act like they're screwed, because they're in as good a position as anyone else in this.

With games like the new, revolutionary Tetris and Bubble Wrap Pop, I don't think Wiiware is going anywhere for a long time. Who's going to buy Tetris for $10? You can buy a used gameboy with Tetris for that much.
