Resident Evil 5 producer - Wii couldn’t handle title screen of RE5

[trestres]

@libellule: You obviously have no clue about anything. Most analysts were predicting last year that the Wii fad would die come this year. You believe that devs don't trust analysts? They even pay them gross amounts of money to get an overall analysis of what's happening. Obviously when they asked themselves if making games for the Wii was worthy, their analysts said the exact opposite thing. The truth is that those analysts failed really badly, and the Wii is simply destroying the competition.

You say there's a lack of third party support, yea there is. But because devs got caught unaware. Wii would be in heaven right now if it had received the amount of good games the HD consoles received, but unluckily that was not the case. Wii only got the afterthoughts and scraps at the beginning of this gen and that's where the myth of "third party games don't sell on the Wii" comes from. I believe a huge portion of the core audience simply moved to the HD's because of the lack of good 3rd party support, but they will be coming back once the games start arriving as soon as early next year.

As of late Japanese devs started shifting their attention towards the Wii and this year a lot of 3rd party announcements were made in comparison to the HD's. Still there will always be some stubborn companies like SE, Konami and Capcom I understand that. There's a very good list made by Onimusha with the upcoming Wii games, with tons of good ones coming out.

You need to understand the market before going out and saying the Wii is a crappy kiddy casual console and that "The empire" is going to get all the games. Just think about it, devs were caught unaware. If they have had the crystal ball, Wii would be flooded by good third party games.
