So are you saying that the system would be best served by the losers bowing out early so that development can be more focused until the next go-round?

Generations would end up being a lot longer, but I don't think I dislike the idea.

This particular generation would be problematic for that model, though. What would be the clear winner here? The Wii, for the insntall base, or the 360, for being the choice of many developers?

This generation has no clear platform winner which is unfortunate. Theres the HD platforms and the Wii which have roughly 50% each of the user split and thats about the best we've got.

 

You wish that true, and so do all the third parties that spent millions dev. hardware to make games exclusivly for the PS360 market, but its not and the Wii by every measurable right should have the majority of the best dev. effort and product.

Just because it hasn't got all the best exclusives, and according to Capcom etc will not, doesn't mean it hasn't ultimately won the gen. Japan was only the start of it, following EA's apology it will turn around. Its just going to take a while thats all.

 

The Wii doesn't have 50% of the overall market. It also doesn't have anywhere near as much of the traditional console market that we belong to.
