Just pointing out that the Wii is starting to build some major momentum among 3rd parties.
I expect this to continue for several reasons:
1) There are alot of Wii's being sold.
2) It is cheaper to develop for the Wii than the 360 or PS3.
3) The PS2 - you are going to see alot of games published for both the Wii and PS2 as they are closer processing wise than the Wii is to the 360 or PS3. While this has generally been viewed negatively, it will actually help the Wii as anyone targeting a game at the PS2 (and there will be many doing this for years to come) will naturally target the Wii also.
1) I agree.
2) I agree. However with the games costing almost as much, I feel... like I get a better deal paying 60$ for a PS3 than paying 30$ for a Wii. Yet Wii is 50$... I feel jipped every Wii game I get... and Every PS3 game I've gotten I have enjoyed. And even the horrible Gundam game for the PS3 isnt... THAT bad... graphically it's not that bad, it just needs better controlls.
3) Once agian. I agree. However 3rd party devs will have to learn to either adapt the games to use the Wiimote... or to NOT use the Wiimote. As the Wiimote does NOT work on alot of games. There are not enough buttons, and in all honesty, the Wiimotes are finikey. I've returned 1... and alot of people I know have returned them, they stop working all the time, and are VERY finikey. (the one I retured the IR sensor in the tip was out of alingment... and even the 2 good ones that I have... there is a 5degree diffrence in the way their pointed. I can tell if I'm useing my wifes controller... (that's bad))
