You act as though demand for traditional games with traditional control schemes just died at the moment the Wii was released, which couldn't be further from the truth. The Wii's marketshare will be largely composed of non-gamers who wouldn't have bought a PS3 or 360 anyway, and traditional gamers are buying it as a secondary console or as a stop-gap product until the 360 or PS3 siginificantly reduce in price.More third parties will support the Wii, but they'll probably just develop a bunch of party games, mini-games, and other titles that have the Wiimote forced in just for the hell of it. Traditional games that require stronger hardware and better online capabilities are always going to be bigger. Even Nintendo's upcoming first-party titles are far more looked forward to than anything any third-party has on the table, Wiimote or no Wiimote.The Wii isn't selling well because of software, anyway. It's selling well because it's cheap and trendy, so thrid-parties will make cheap games to make a quick buck because it's easy to develop for, but their big guns are going to be on the PS3 and 360.

You act as though everything you say is fact, which couldn't be further from the truth. Just because it is difficult for YOU to understand that someone who owned a PS2/Xbox last gen would want to upgrade with a Wii INSTEAD of a PS3/360 does not mean it isn't happening.
The rest of your statements are speculation and, while I could argue otherwise, the fact that you STILL believe that is the case means that there is no convincing you. |
Ah the classic "There are no REAL gamers who own Wiis" argument. Always a fun one.
