The Wii hype isn't making the HD console sell more software.
But for the first time the success of one console isn't actually affecting the catalog of games of the other 2 consoles.

If Wii hadn't happened, HD consoles would be getting exactly the same games lol...
So we can safely go back to ignoring it and playing our favorite games..

 

 If you're pertaining to Third party right now this is true, as majority of those games were in development before it was clear who this gens winner was. It was readity assumes that either XB360, or PS3 would win. No one prior to launch would have thought that the Wii would be this gens PS2.

...If this gen plays out for another 4 years you will probably see the market leader getting the bulk of the big game exclusives.

That is very doubtfull seeing how the fact that the publishers bet on the wrong consoles isn't actually affecting the success of their games...That and the first foray of third parties into the Wii haven't been that successfull..

 

Namco's JRPGs have bombed on the Xbox 360. In fact most of their retail offerings for the Xbox 360 have not performed well except for Soul Calibur IV, which has a chance at surpassing 1 million sales.

Other 3rd parties have had games to sell poorly on the Xbox 360/PS3. That's the nature of doing business. Not all games will perform as expected. However, the losses from poor performing games are a lot higher on the HD consoles than the Wii.

Namco's next RPGs are on the Wii, Fragile and the next Tales game.
