Basically, we are at a par situation:
HD or Wii is the choice that game makers have.
HD means PS3/Xbox 360 -- few if any non-first-party exclusives because you need sales from both bases to make the business model work.
If you are into standard experiences (such as FPS games or high-tech co-op games), then you are most likely going to put more effort into the HD consoles. (As an aside, I hate when these games are called multi-platform when they are really dual-platform -- and I don't consider the PC a platform of the same type)).
If you are into an experience requiring more physicality (such as having to point at the screen), then you are more likely going to put more effort into the Wii.
Personally, I think even third-parties that try don't fully understand the Wii (no one over 14 seems allowed to appear in an EA commercial).
Nintendo is perfectly able to fill the gaps as the best first-party developer out there (and some consider the best developer period). If the third parties fail to deliver, Nintendo will step in, just like it did with the Gamecube.

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
