| sethnintendo said: I am just saying that some publishers like Sega and a few others are actually trying to produce decent games for Wii (wasn't implying that Sega was producing these games very cheaply more like the other way around that they are actually investing more money). Sure the 3rd party support hasn't been the best for the Wii. I was trying to state that Sega was investing a decent amount of money and time into Madworld and The Conduit. Sure it cost less if you make crap shovelware but soon 3rd parties will probably invest more money into the Wii. My only guess is that the cost will go up on the Wii if they aren't making a shovelware game. |
I agree completely. My main issue with some of the posters in this thread is that they try to peddle this statistical information as if it were a good thing for the Wii, and an "advantage" the Wii has over the HD consoles.
In fact, its the main reason the Wii has such terrible 3rd party products to date. The 3rd party publishers only spend 1/3rd to 1/4th the amount of money on a Wii title that they do on a HD crossplat. The titles you mentioned are likely some of the first notable exceptions, and in the future, the "Wii is cheap" argument won't hold water -- heck it doesn't now.
