Lifespan of the Wii?

The problem is the only multiplatform games Nintendo is encouraging are again not big names. They're not going to steal a DMC or a GTA like Microsoft did. System power prohibits it.

Nintendo planned for that. When they tried to compete for games like that with GC, they failed. Now they've decided to let the others duke it out for market share of power-hungry games that repeatedly hit the same audience, while they get the entirity of several other, untapped audiences. And its highly likely that a game like Cooking Mama for Wii will be far more profitable than a game like the PS3 version of DMC.

They did get a big steal in Guitar Hero, which may sell better to Ninty's "casual audience." And they nailed the Sims exclusively. Check the top 3 Sims games on PS2, and you'll find they slightly outsold the DMC PS2 trilogy. And those were PC ports, not ground up console builds like the new game.

 First off. The Gamecube almost got ALL the major multiplatforms. The Wii is already falling behind PS3/360 starting June multiplatform. Only 1 version of sims got exclusivity, and it isnt really exclusive, as it is going PSP as well. (not DS)

Sims on the PS2 are NOT PC ports. You dont know what your talking about.

I hate sims, my wife loves it. I know all about it.
