It is the responsibility of Nintendo to get the third parties on its system.
Nintendo opens a store. They say 'everybody can sell their stuff here!'
Nintendo's own stuff is very popular. The store is always very crowded and sells lots. Other companies quickly cram in some crap there. It doesn't sell.

Nintendo's fault? I think not.

How can you/people keep whining that Nintendo is doing something bad to the gaming industry? They found a niche. Fun, easy to play games that mimic/require real life motions. Good for them.
Again, is it their fault that lots of companies try to copy them without knowing how to make a fun game? Like that Epic guy said: "I am never going to make a kiddy game just because of the Wii."
As long as people will buy them, there will be serious games. It's just how the market works. Even Nintendo knows that and that's why they made Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Fire Emblem, BWii, etc. Casual games don't stop you from buying hardcore games, do they?
