If Nintendo hadn't slashed the technology, I could see more potential, but they've cut their own legs off when it comes to franchises like this.
This is something I must ask about, Wii is more powerfull than PS2 which had GTA and FF. What is stopping these companies to at least doing spinoff on these series to Wii? Somehow I think this power race isn't that important as some people belive.

What little Sony loses in terms of third parties, they recoup it. As to exclusives, we began to see them disappearing last generation. The cost of games and ease of porting (to 360) makes that a sensible business decision.
And here is a difference for Wii, it is actuly having some exclusivs you wont get on either 360 or PS3. So far they might not be that many, or with great names, but some games is coming to Wii that the other consols doesn't have if the sales will keep coming.
So far we have:
Cooking Mama
Red Steel
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Sonic and the Secret Rings
Elebits
Super Swing Golf
Up coming is:
that dance/rytm game from EA (don't remeber the name)
MySims
Dragon Quest Swords
Dews Adventure
No More Heroes
RE spinnoff
(If I have missed anything please let me know.)
Now these games might not be those games that you like but anyway it is showing that their is 3rd party exclusive that in compination with Nintendo games and a low entry cost will strengthen Wii place on the market. Meanwhile PS3 and xbox360 is losing 3rd party exclusives to each others, that might mean that in USA and EU (in japan the xbox360 is dead, so we can forgett about it there) the "war" might become xbox360 and PS3 vs Wii. Of course that is only speculation, but it might mean that Wii will grow strong because of this, which int turn might lead to more exclusiv 3rd party games.
Buy it and pray to the gods of Sigs: Naznatips!
