I agree that the wii will get the most third party support, its just a matter of what the third party support will be. I like mostly western style game, with the 360 being the main platform for those types of games it would make little sense to skip the PS3 and just make a wii title. Its just to hard to tell what will happen for the future of gaming right now, but i just can't see third parties having decent sales on the wii when Nintendo games will be what is bought first for the system. Lets say in 6months i buy a wii, i want 10 games for the system, I bet that Nintendo games are going to be atleast 50-70 percent of what i buy, this will be the same for just about anyone buying the system. Third parties will see this and go oh shit lets make something for the PS3/360/PC. then we can chop the game down and make it for the wii to get some extra cash. It would be best if all the systems, could get the same games. One last hing before ben comes in and bans me for supporting the PS3, thats just a joke ben unless you do plan on banning me for supporting the PS3 ;) This generation of gaming will be the tighest race so far and its just too early to predict what will happen. we all have our ideas of what will happen, but nothing is set in stone, no one ever expected Nintendo do die off like they did for 10 years. Then come back with a system called the wii and be ahead of the 360/PS3 in sales after 10 months or whatever it is. |
This is where I simply have to disagree ... The videogame market naturally moves towards a single platform dominating because of a feedback loop which rapidly gets out of control. The shift of third party support will translate to greater sales for the Wii which will (in turn) translate into stronger third party support; slow sales for the PS3 and XBox 360 will translate into weaker third party support which will (in turn) lead to lower sales.
It doesn't matter whether you are ready to accept it or not, in order for this generation to remain close in sales the XBox 360 and PS3 had to sell at a similar rate to the Wii from the day it was released; they didn't so without some drastic action from Sony and Microsoft the generation has been decided.
