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

Or maybe its because people will still buy the games they put out on the Wii even when they put their third string developers on the project? Even Nintendo has gotten away with it on games like Mario Party.

Why put good developers on a game when people will buy it regardless of how well it is developed? Its not cost efficient. Not to mention your talented developers will be even more talented, particularly when the next generation comes around, when they are working on more advanced hardware technology rather than less advanced hardware.

 

 

Ah ha ha ha, what an awesome conclusion. Out of curiosity, what possible outcome could lead to the Wii getting better games?

1) The Wii sells a lot of software: clearly this means that Wii owners love the terrible games they're being given. Why give them anything better?

2) The Wii does not sell software: clearly this means Wii owners do not buy games. You can bet that third parties would abandon the system entirely if this were to happen. Obviously if the games stop selling, support will dwindle.

Therefore, there is no possible outcome that could reasonably lead to the Wii getting better games, using your logic. The options are either 1) get more crap or 2) get nothing at all.
