Soriku said: Uh...what's wrong with Wii exclusives then? Make the Wii get it's own GTA. Or its own whatever. I don't see why making a game like that for $5-$10 million for the Wii is very bad and good when it's a $100 million game on HD consoles.
I can't believe you're still saying the HD consoles are better in these economic times when companies are losing money because of the HD consoles and not the Wii.
Besides owning the console, is there any proof that the games will sell like hot cakes on the Wii? We can see how the games sell on the PS2-Xbox - and mirror that on the 360 and PS3. The Wii isn't like any other console. I keep saying this - and I won't stop. I know several people who would never touch a video game that talk and go on and on about the Wii. It's hot and it's selling. However, based on your logic, most devs make the Wii the lead console, then, have to use another team to create an HD console version. Name any games where a non-HD console was the lead - and had it ported to an HD console. You would have to sell tons of extra copies to recoup these costs. And it's still not a given it will sell good on the Wii.
Just look at these numbers - Wii:
