I figured out why 3rd parties hesitate to put their best teams on Wii games

If the devs who were losing money on ps360 moved to wii, there's a high chance that they'll lose money as well because they'll probably make a game you won't buy probably because it sucks. i think most are trying to find a common ground to create a game where both themselves and the consumers want. there's a reason some ps360 games have days you can play online with the developers. This makes it obvious that the devs themselves love playing the game.

I don't mean this in a rude or mean way, even though it will inevitably come across like that, but...if you think that that type of attitude would last long, you're horribly mistaken. You're probably a student, huh? Never had to fully support yourself? I ask this because I know that if you did, you wouldn't say anything like this. People do what they have to to eat and pay their mortgage, dude, and if they keep cranking out crap that no one buys they won't be able to do either. You'll find out soon enough that if you want to make good money, you'll do your job well, no matter how much you detest it, or you won't be doing any job at all.

Life kinda sucks, y'know.

However, I find it strange that M$ would court Itagaki out of the blue. What did he do before ninja gaiden to make him deserving of this? Most of M$ obvious moneyhats this gen have been to accomplished devs and franchises.

He made Dead or Alive, for starters...

You'll find that Itagaki is widely considered to be "accomplished," at least amongst those who pay attention to devs. Or do you reckon Tecmo just give him their most talented dev team for giggles?

Thats fine that ninty's games sell a lot. It's the disparity I question. It ridiculously high. i've never seen that kind of phenomenon on any non-ninty console. They may be good but not that much better than everyone else.

Go look at a list for the 50 top-selling games of all time, on all systems. Tell me what name takes up two-thirds of that list. Shoot, I posted that info in this thread. Do you think that might play a role in this? Maybe?

maybe there's something ninty's games have even if I personally can't see it

Apparently...

that thing is also making people ignore other offerings which is leaving 3rd parties with no choice but to abandon their platform.

I will pay you actual money if you can prove this is happening.

Jesus Christ dude, it's not 1996 anymore.

Since you guys stick to ninty's games instead of actually trying others out, whats the point of a 3rd party effort? Call it "disruption" but with the wii, I feel like nintendo designed a platform only they could profit from and they're the only ones profiting from it.

Well no wonder your posts smell like s***: you're clearly pulling things out of your a**.

i really don't see why the fact that I'm a student should factor into this debate. I pay my own fees and have had 6 month internships between school sessions to support my finances and garner work experience. If you think you 're the one thats the end all of knowledge since you graduated or already work permanently, thats up to you.

And what was the point of adding the bolded part at the end? Since you seem more interested in questioning my personal life and insulting my viewpoints instead of trying to hold a debate, I won't argue with you.  I can't stand people who behave this way.
