Well I would have hoped it would have meant I get all the big 3rd party games but unfortunately that hasn't been the case and unlike many Wii fans I don't really think it will ever be the case. But even if I am stuck mainly with only Nintendo games I am still quite happy for Nintendo. They deserve their success as a reward for all the great games and also for taking chances and trying to be innovative.

You don't think it won't come later on, even?  I mean, the Wii is on track to surpass the PS2, it'd be really bizarre for a console with such massive success to be loaded with nothing but mediocre 3rd party games, then Nintendo games.  I'm positive the games will come, it's just really disturbing how long it has taken the 3rd parties.

 

no I don't think it will come later.  I think 3rd parties lack business forsight and also lack creativity (Boom Blox aside).  Wii forces them to be creative.  They have to be creative with the controls, they have to have ability to maximise graphics out of the reduced power of the console and they have to be creative with gameplay.  Most of all they have to blend all these together to match or come close to what Nintendo can do.  But I don't see them capable of doing that and even the 3rd parties themselves don't believe they can come close to matching Nintendo.  So I think they will just continue to focus on PS360 and rely on bringing out the same games they have been releasing for the past 10 years but with better graphics.

It will be Nintendo's gain and 3rd parties' loss because Nintendo will be left to carnibalise software sales on the leading platform.
