Well for me, I want a console to succeed sales wise because it ensures more will be invested into developing for it, exclusive or multiplatform. A console may be defined by the exclusives it has, but Multiplatform titles are extremely important, heck even more important than exclusives in some cases.

My point was, you'd want multiplatform on the Wii so that it can gain 3rd party support (and eventually third party exclusives, if you want them so badly). To not want any multiplatform games would be suicide, because multiplatform is what developers test the waters with, to check what works and what doesn't before investing in an exclusive for the console.

Sure you can continue to buy multiplatform games on the PC, and ignore the good ones that are on the Wii, but it means that the Wii will take longer or not even get 3rd party exclusives because of that.

 

OK I agree with you but what can we do about it? We should just buy a PC, Xbox 360 or a PS3 too if we enjoy best of the both worlds.

O.T. Im still intact with my own opinion though, the Ps3 is becoming like Xbox 360 while both HD consoles becoming like PC. Yeah, there are big multiplats there but with the financial crisis and HD consoles is still on the slumps right now,(xbox 360 still low on Japan and others, PS3 still low on Japan and america) is it still worth the risk?

Still I dont understand why 3rd parties especially the western ones still pursue, I think theres no profit to it anymore.
