Gamerace said: My point still stands. Wii is an abatrous for Japanese 3rd party developers making games for the local market. And yes, PS3/360 is just too damn expensive for too small a userbase. As far as home consoles go, the only system worth making a game on for them is PS2 (and you can port to Wii for another 10% of sales). For those developers DS or PSP is the absolute best way to go. Wii is not a valid option, unless as you say, it's a sure seller anyways and even then it'd probably be more profittable to have made that same game on DS or PSP.

Well your example of Wii third-party AAA title is quite laughable if you ask me ... ( I understand your point of DS/PSP/PS2 however PS2 is declining so if I have started a console project a couple of months ago I had to think where the PS2 market will be in a couple of years when my game will be released ...)
Oh BTW we'll see what happen with Monster Hunter 3 in 2009.
