Nintendo's job is to get consoles into households. Third parties are responsible for their own business decisions. This idea of getting devs excited about developing for the system, is irrelevant, this is a business. Factor 5 was excited to develop Lair for the PS3, now there is no more factor 5. What am I saying? This is business.
Whatever third parties do from here on out is another business decision made by the higher ups. Nintendo provides an alternative to the Hd business model, that should be enough for devs to support the system. Before too long the Wii will have 50% of the entire market with 1/3 or 1/4 the development costs..From a business perspective I know which platform I would choose.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
