Make you own thread. This is the thread to be on Sega's jock. @Me I see them being mainly Nintendo developers after this year, but I don't see them abandoning the other two consoles. Sega was very supportive last gen with all three consoles. I do see more Wii/360/PS3 multiplats with Wii in mind as the heavy seller. I see the end coming for PS3 exclusives. I see them diminishing their amount of HD multiplats every year. I see them getting more and more in bed with Nintendo as time goes on. Maybe Sega will start appearing in Mario sports games. Maybe we'll actually get that Mario/Sonic platformer that everyone my age dreamed about in the early 90's. What Sega is doing is financially smart. They are building a core on both ends. They are making a name for themselves as a trustworthy name for both the expanded audience through Sonic and the core audience through Conduit and MadWorld. If quality is high on the core games, they can singlehandedly start bringing in more HD console owners to get a Wii as a secondary.

and this is why I think Nintendo is so keen to help them - if Nintendo puplished the core games it wanted to do well on it's console then everybody would tout the old "only Nintendo games do well" even though they only published it so Sega carrying the can is great for Nintendo.
Up to now it's been Nintendo making the Wii a success on their own but it seems Sega finally has the right idea and I see them playing a major role this year in the Wii's story and I also see others following them this year.
What we have to bear in mind also is that these party games may sell well but 99% of them are sold at a budget price and if somebody proves their is a core audience for the wii and they are willing to buy full price games then everybody will want a piece of that.
