The Wii wil never get the kind of third party support that the PS2 had.

It's not because the games won't sell, it's because nobody wants to make games on outdated hardware. That's really all there is to it. The PS2 was less powerful than the competition, but it was powerful enough.

Ahhhh, so that's why developers steer clear of the DS while opting for the superior PSP. Gotcha. I'll pretend DQIX never happened.

No, they avoid both.

Japan would like a word.

Okay, if power's not the issue, then why isn't Modern Warfare 2, Assassins Creed 2, Resident Evil 5, Bioshock 2, Street Fighter IV, UFC Undisputed, Tekken 6, Prototype, BlazBlue, Lost Planet 2, Red Faction: Guerilla, Fight Night Round 4 and just about every other 2009 multiplat title not getting a Wii version?

Wii sells more software than the other consoles, so we know that's not the reason.

Most of them, due to the demographic (i'm not talking about hardcore-casual shit, people didn't buy a Wii for violent games). Some of them, like RE5 or SF4, I really don't know.

I can assure you Nick, if third parties see money in Nintendo's platform, they'll flock. They're into the business to satisfy their pockets, not you.

Yes! The Wii is considered a "casual" console, most games for it are casuals, thats why it sells so well to all ages. That is also a big part of why a lot of devs won't develope for it, they would be wasting their money. They would have to seriously downgrade their games to make them even remotely playable on the Wii (and that wouldn't be good for the games...or the Devs who would basically have to create a new version of the game) And, to top it all off, the majority of Wii owners probably wouldn't buy the games. It's a lose lose for the Devs in that case, but the Wii has enough exclusives to carry it...so no need for anybody to get their panties in a bunch.
