That only means Nintendo gets money from third parties, and you seem to forget the other first parties can do exactly the same thing, while providing no proof anyway, just speculation.

I'm not speculating, and yes, the other first parties benefit in the same way from licensing fees.

I'm talking about why 3rd parties shy away from the Wii.  Don't turn this into a Sony-MS-Nintendo business model comparison -- it's not.

But what you described is not a pyramid scheme.

And if it applies to the other two, it's not a reason. Unless the third parties are stupid enough to think it's somehow bad to do the very same thing with the Wii.

If you don't understand what I wrote a few posts above, I don't think you can ever understand the reasons why 3rd parties don't like the Wii.

Its simple numbers and profit-making.  Its not as shallow as "costs less to develop for, thus it must be better", it just isn't, and I describe why above, pretty clearly, I think.
