So because third party publishers foolishly focused their attention on consoles with massive development costs and limited sales potential, while Nintendo focused their efforts on producing inexpensive games for a rapidly growing market segment, its Nintendo's fault that third party publishers are losing money?

Wow, I bet you blame university graduates for drop-outs being unable to make ends meat too ...

"Due to the fact that most of its' games were hundreds of megabytes as opposed to the competition's 32, it was not viable for developers to port games from the PS1 to the N64." Did the PS1 hurt the industry?

No.

Case closed.

Nintendo is the best thing for the industry right now, as developers can safely expect to make a profit developing games for it.

So by expanding the market you are killing it?

I see, great sense of logic there mate, love it.

I don't think your understanding my point , yes Nintnedo has caused significant growth in the gaming market but who's benefited from it appart from Nintendo ? a few others yes but the effect isn't as general as it should be.

If an expanding market = crappy motion sensing N64 ports and alarming numbers of 3rd party developers in dept then i'd rather have a declining market if the opposite occours.

Yes the Wii has many quality titles Zelda , SSBB , SMG . but what have they all got in common ?

The answer to that, is those who have also put an effort towards the Wii. You can blame the Wii for the PS3 and 360 games losing money but most wii games have turned a profit or atleast met development costs. The reason the 3rd parties are doing poor is that they have backed the wrong horse so far.

Then 3rd parties should make better games if they want to profit and benefit like Nintendo.

Nintendo still doomed?

Now in this kind of situation where developing for the Wii is unprofitable because of the low attatch rate of games and 1st party title dominance , developers are forced to do one of two things.

I started to read your post... I really did. Then I hit this.

Before leaving this thread I'll just point out that several dev's stated increased profit this year in part largely to high sales of wii software.

I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
