proving more that Ninty dont give a damn. As if we should care or Nintendo should care. What third parties did in this generation was just milking the proven franchise and stomp it on the ground. Bet on wrong consoles and makes shovelwares in any system(not only on the Wii). Now third parties suffer the consequence.

 

 

I wonder when will the next video game crash begin? Well thats harsh I mean video game  implosion. I want the new genration(casuals to you) to reign in the new generation of gaming.

i agree with both of yall on this. The wii is selling so well because of its price point and originality. But now MS and Sony have both lowered the price and are about to launch motion control. so the deciding factor for people when they go to buy the systems will be the games. And in order for any system to sell 3rd part support has to be there. Flagship franchises can only carry you so far.

Except Nintendo still has the games, the games that made Wii sell so much are games like Wii Fit, Wii sports, Wii Play, Mario Kart and the like, and soon to be NSMB, Sony, MS, and the third parties can't compete with that, they may have motion controls and a lower price point, but as long as they can't compete with Nintendo, it won't matter how much third party support they have, they won't outsell Wii.

Halo, GTA, Call of Duty, etc. those won't carry a system to Wii level sales, those are the games that third parties put out, but those aren't the games that Sony and MS need.
