I wonder if this refrain that the Wii fad will soon die off isn't merely wishful thinking on the part of publishers who have overextended themselves on next generation consoles and high-end PCs, and are now trembling at the thought of reinventing themselves to compete in a world where Nintendo is number one."

 

Yeah I wonder if this is the reason that third party devs are seemingly hesitant to embrace the Wii, 

because of the fact that they know they'll get spanked by Ninty in the software market
