So it is a relatively small sample that may not be indicative of how many of those multi-platform games the Wii will get overall (who knows, maybe they will get more in the fall), but it's still quite interesting. The question is why are those games not being released on the Wii?
I think the reason why some devs choose to avoid releasing games on the Wii may actually have to do with the power of Nintendo franchises, any Dev will likely get spanked in sales by a Nintendo game which releases at the same time, this may make some devs decide to develop for the 360 and MS. Basically they are trying to stay out of the way of the behemoth that is Nintendo.
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
