As long as the 10,000 users are buying more games than the 1,000,000 games... They will make them for the console that buys the most games. That would be the 10,000 userbase. At least that seems to be what is happening to EA. EA spends tons of money creating a new control scheme, tons of money to advertise the Wii version... Lots more than the PS3 version. Only for it to sell LESS than the PS3 version. Had they spent that money makeing the PS3 version look better, the PS3 version would have sold MUCH MUCH more, probibally more than the PS3+Wii version. So EA screwed up, spent money makeing controlls for the Wii and advertising it... when if they would have just pimped the graphics, and let the game sell itself, they would have made more money. Moral of the story. Number of consoles sold... means NOTHING. Number of games sold... does. The only way to sell games on a nintendo console, is to out-nintendo, nintendo. That is a VERY VERY VERY VERY hard thing to do. |
That is 100% false ...
Anyone who has done game development (regardless on whether it is professional or just mods) will be able to confirm that changing the control scheme is a very minor change; to port a game like The Godfather there was probably only 1 or 2 guys actually doing any work on implementing the control scheme for the Wii while there were dozens (probably in the 36 to 48 range) of artists working on improving the graphics for the PS3 version.
On top of that there is no (real) evidence showing that Wii software is selling worse than PS3 software, in particular not on a level which compensates for the higher development costs of the PS3.
I really don't understand how you can always deny what is being reported everywhere just because it doesn't support the PS3 Kwaad; Wii is selling better, gaining more and more exclusive support from third party developers while the PS3 struggles and finds most of its support disapearing.
