Wii "inhospitable platform for third-party publishers"

Am I the only one that sees the irony in one troll claiming that there are "more failures than successes" on the Wii followed up by someone complaining about the success of the supposed "non-quality" Wii games? It's like every anti-Wii argument from the past two years all rolled into one thread, and the people making them don't seem to be too concerned that they are directly contradicting each other in their desperate race.

 

So true.

 

They also ignore the CEO's of companies who state that they are funding their "hd" games off of the money they have made on the Wii.

 

Ignorance is bliss, though.

 

    Noone is saying they can't make money off the Wii.  Take 2 made at least 100 million in retail sales off of Carnival games.  Given the production values 99.9 million of that was pure profit.  The point is not that noone makes money on the Wii, its that noone makes money off of good games on the Wii except Nintendo.

 

   Don't think of "there are no successful good games on the Wii not made by Nintendo" as an insult, think of it as a call to action.  Unless the market changes and more people buy Boom Blox and less buy Carnival games, you're going to get a lot more mini games and a lot less quality titles.  

 

   It's not about whether third parties can make money on the Wii, of course they can, its a question of HOW they will make that money.  I bet you anything take two doesn't care if it makes 100 million selling carinavle games or 100 million selling a Wii GTA, so if you want that Wii GTA buy games like it to show that the Wii will support the much higher production costs a GTA type game requires.

 

  The power is yours!
