Why some multiplats are not on the Wii

As I have said in another thread, Animal Crossing is a million-seller in Japan yet is being described as a failure.

And as I have said in another thread, this is the stage in its life that the PS2 got its first price cut -- a 33% reduction.


A lot of people -- in the industry and in the forums -- don't like the Wii and wish it ill. But it is not going away.

This article cherry-picks every negative or negative-sounding statement in the last month for the Wii and rolls them together. The Gamasutra forum featured another analyst who disagreed completly with the statement that is being quoted -- but no one seems to talk about that. EA's "problem" with WM+ was that it was too accurate/sensitive, in other words, it worked too well not that it did not work well enough.

There will always be games that don't come to a platform. And since it is not as powerful as the HD consoles of PS3 and Xbox 360, some games will not be on the Wii. But if they sell or have the potential, they will more often than not be there.
