The 3rd parties haven't yet figured out how to invest and create a decent Wii title, from the ground up. Nintendo's "stanglehold" on their own console results from their legendary IPs being so ingrained into modern culture, that they practically define what the "blue ocean gamer" likes, in and of themselves. I see it as basically impossible for 3rd parties to cook up new IPs that will be hugely successful on the Wii, at this point, relative to new IPs on the HDs. Mario has been Mario for decades -- Mario IS the Blue Ocean, and nothing can, or will, compare to or uproot that, without the same time investment. The available avenues are basically things that have also been ingrained into our culture as fun livingroom/family room activities -- fitness is a prime example. Or billiards, table tennis, etc. |
Are you saying that 3rd party developers have trouble succeeding on the Wii because of Nintendo's first party games?
