@Rubang: Actually i was thinking about the fact, that Nintendo designs the hardware for the software on the system. But, indeed, Nintendo is concerned about the costs associated, so their interest is in the cheap cost of developement.
@Squiliam: The multiplatform strategy wouldn't be important, if PS3 hadn't failed. If PS3 would have performed up to expectations, the "multiplatform strategy" would have been "PS3 exclusive strategy".
With the same logic you can put the blame for any of the three manufacturers. Without DirectX and requirement for HD, you'd have very cheap Wii->360 ports. Without Cell, 360->PS3 ports would be cheaper etc. Or you could blame Sony and M$ for not selling more consoles than Nintendo, which would make porting games for Wii irrelevant.
Ei Kiinasti.
Eikä Japanisti.
Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.
Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
