Wii's Shovelware Problem. Will it fade?

Well, I guess it depends on how you look at it. From my point of view, I'd say they'd lose potential money by making shovelware instead of quality games. It's all about opportunity cost!

The percentage of shovelware games on the Wii is higher, true! The Wii is more popular and selling more software than the PS2 did, so there has to be more games. Unfortunately, most of them suck, since so much more effort is spent on the HD consoles. It's getting better over time, though it probably won't ever reach "normal" levels. The Wii's successor shouldn't have this problem, though... (theoretically).

true. Sooo wait. When you say Wii's succesor shouldn't have this problem I believe you but go more into detail. Like it will still be the top selling system but more third parties will support it from the start or . . .

Well, I'm hoping more third parties will learn, over the course of this gen, that "casual games" don't equate to "crappy games." EA seems to be on track, for example.

I don't think it necessarily matters if the Wii successor is the top seller, just that third parties won't underestimate its potential. Since there's no reason to think it'd go the way of the GameCube, they shouldn't be late to the party...

Hmm i see. At least we can appreciate the good games on the Wii though. And 2010 looks to be great.

Now that you started talking about the Wii's succesor, you have me thinking about it more. What it'll look like and be like. Nintendo has already expressed interest in Hi Def gaming for their next console so you know its has to come with a Harddrive. And what about the controllers? There should be a thread for this.
