id Boss: 3rd-Party Wii Development "Not Really Justified"

[NJ5]

Let 3rd parties keep largely ignoring 50% of the console market and let's see where things end up. I'm sure iD will be fine (not really a surprise that they don't care much given their background), but that is not the case with many other 3rd parties.

I wonder how many 3rd parties will be left at the end of this gen, other than PC developers and consolidated developers like EA (who keep losing money) and Activision.

Then by the time the next gen starts, the remaining developers will be fighting against lack of brand recognition from millions of new gamers who never played one of their games. It will be interesting to see how that part turns out too.
