If you say so, dude. I'm merely pointing out two things here: that there are several multi-plats that have done better on the Wii than on the (combined) HD consoles, and that consequently this comparison means nothing. But if you insist on sticking with that, knock yourself out.
now for the second part of your post... i dint mean like that... i am not complaning about 3rd party games in PS3 and they suck a little bit as they are comming out better for xb360 (lots a reasons that everybody knows as xb360 is easier to program to and is out longer meaning that is more mature as a dev platfrom) so if you are complaning you have to do something that changes the market direction... a im completly fine with nintendo selling lots and lots of games... but you have to be able to understand that if that happens 3rd party games will be less in number and in sales... i dont want to nintendo to stop making games... but if you buy less of them you will have more money to buy 3rd party games... would you make games for a console that is most selling games are from 1st party and its way hard to get in the middle of it or would you put your effords in a install base even biggar than wii as ps360 is, and where 3rd party games are way more easy to get in the upper position of the sales table... think about that... me as a business men... i would go for the second option...
I see your point, but there are two things you have to understand here. The first is that Nintendo's best games have always sold more than everyone else's. This is true now, it was true with the NES/Gameboy, and most likely it will continue to be true for the foreseeable future.
Shoot, it's true for the DS as well, and no one complains that third-parties aren't doing well there. And yet it is only recently that this has come to be regarded as a "problem." It's not. Nintendo takes the biggest slice of the pie, as it always has, but there's still enough pie to go around for everyone else.
In fact, this dovetails with your second point. In support of your position, did you know that the top-selling software on the Wii grabs a larger share of the total software than on the HD twins? Unsurprisingly Nintendo, which has multiple games that have sold over ten million copies each on the system, has nearly all of the top slots on the system. This means that, indeed, the Wii's software sales are experiecing Nintendomination.
And yet, in spite of this, the Wii still sells more third-party software than even the 360 (the PS3 doesn't really belong in this conversation, I'm afraid). It's not a matter of Wii-owners buying Nintendo software to the exclusion of everything else: they're buying everyone's software, even if Nintendo gets a higher share than everyone else. When you combine this with the fact that on average Wii games cost a quarter as much to make as HD games it would appear that I, as a businessman, would opt for the Wii over the HD consoles.
But then I flatter myself by thinking that I, as a businessman, would not be one of the many whose decisions have led to so many studio mergers and foreclosures this generation.
