It's not because the games won't sell, it's because nobody wants to make games on outdated hardware.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.

I know that you're trying to say, but I wanna facepalm pic here. When you look at the Wii's software numbers, you see things like Mario, Zelda, Brawl, etc selling 5M+. Then those other games that sell multiple millions? Cooking Mama, Mario and Sonic, Raving Rabbids...etc. Not games that are in the style of the games you mentioned

SaviorX hit the nail on the noggin when he said "which kinds" of games are selling on the Wii. I, too, wouldn't want to be associated with the "it sells the most 3rd party software...because games like Mario and Sonic sell gangbusters". Does it sell the most 3rd party software? Absolutely. Does it sell the "types" of games we associate ourselves with as gamers, in order to get that title? No.
