I suppose I really don't care if that's what Ubisoft thinks, because we have already seen what happens to the random shit casual games thrown at the Wii (Boogie). If it takes developers another year to figure out that this crap doesn't sell, that's their loss.

That's possible. Or the lesson they may learn if these Boogie-type games fail is that third party games don't sell all that well on the Wii, period.

The question is: will they go from making cheap casual games to higher quality casual games, or will they go from making cheap casual games to even cheaper casual games... or even no games?



3.) Stop developing on the Wii and only make games on the 360 and PS3. This option could have three results:
a) If 3rd parties do this, the PS3 will not get any non-multiplatform games, and the system will die. As it stands, the PS3 completely depends on 3rd party Wii games selling if it wants any 3rd party exclusives. Otherwise companies can not survive making exclusive games on it. It's too much of a business risk. The PS3 will not survive with no exclusive games. If it leeches everything off of the 360, people will simply buy the 360 instead because it's cheaper.


"As it stands, the PS3 completely depends on 3rd party Wii games selling if it wants any 3rd party exclusives."

I don't get what you mean by this, can you elaborate?  Are you saying if 3rd party Wii games don't sell, the PS3 won't get any 3rd party exclusives?  Why wouldn't it?  

 

"The PS3 will not survive with no exclusive games."

True. 

 

"If it leeches everything off of the 360, people will simply buy the 360 instead because it's cheaper."

I think this part is already coming true to some extent in NA (all of the 360-PS3 games get better review scores and sell more units on the 360).



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
