that's the mindset of every big ceo/developer or whatever towards wii. nintendo made wii so much casual that the core games dont sell well unless it's nintendo. and all those guys will use this scenario as their alibi not to put effort on the wii.

i wish nintendo showed something spectacular, like TW:OOT, but looking at their game development it's never going to happen. and my gutt feeling is even nintendo's major ips will face tough time selling in the future(e.g. punch-out). some of u will argue that, but tell me what nintendo game has a big buzz like ac2, mw2 made by nintendo/3rd parties. u may also say their core games r coming, but waiting for that another 1 or 2 years will not going to help the wii owners getting major ips. and when a console loosing those ips, most gamers tend not to invest money behind that console.


That's not true. EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Capcom, Namco and even Square Enix are all supporting the wii with great original games that show a ton of effort. Big developers have been joining the Wii parade recently.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
