The Wii hasn't past 50% of marketshare but I'm fairly certain that the number of households with Wii systems is greater than the number of households that have a PS3 and/or an XBox 360 ...

Beyond that, even if they don't, why would anyone "with 2 braincells" be able to answer why companies are willing to go bankrupt rather than to produce decent games for 49% of the market when the development costs associated with that 49% of the market is 1/3 to 1/4 the development cost of the other 51% of the market?

Edit: As for the comment on Midway ... You don't need a "Hit" to be a profitable well run company. There are quite a few companies (Majesco for example) who have developed a business model where their development costs are low enough that they can survive off of very low sales.

Capcom is nowhere near going bankrupt and actually doing very well financially ( the topic of this thread is about Capcom right ?).

Now if you want more shovelware from company like Midway and Eidos , go for it...

 

For someone who insults other people about their intelligence you're not particularly bright ...

My comment on this thread was about videogame "Journalists" asking third party publishers why they didn't produce "Hardcore" franchises for the Wii rather than write rants about why the Wii didn't have these games. Very few of the large western publishers (EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Take Two, Midway, etc.) are particularly healthy, and yet no one has asked why they choose to ignore the Wii in favour of producing games that (on the whole) do not recover their development costs.

 

 

They should ask these questions as the PS360 version of COD: WaW outsells the Wii version 8 to 1? As Mario and Sonic @ the olympics outsell Zelda wii? As Carnaval games sells more then triple what Okami, No More heros, Dawn of a New World and Madworld sold combined?

 

Why ask questions for which you already know the answer?

 

 

So, since Gears of War has outsold Lost Odessy, Tales of Vesperia, Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Infinite Undescovery, The Last Remnant, Star Ocean, and Enchanted Arms does that mean that Square Enix should abandon Final Fantasy XIII for the XBox 360 and focus their efforts on a third person shooter?

 

Didn't you get the memo ?

The 360 port of FFXIII is a shooter !
