^Test is lets throw garbage onto the Wii, if it sells great, if not, at least we can say we tried and the Wii market doesn't have a big enough core gamers.

It wouldn't sell, if their games on the Wii suck, you really think a graphical upgrade will imporve them? No they are done to placate the investors who want to see more Wii games.

Actaully there is huge demand for high quality, look at Nintendo game sales on Wii

Throwing garbage on the Wii is not a test. Its common practice that's proven to be very lucrative.

When I look at the top selling Wii games. I mostly see long running Nintendo franchises, party games, edutainment, just a couple mega popular franchises that have seen better sales on other consoles, and licensed crap that appeals to kids. While people do buy high quality Nintendo games. There are plenty of great 3rd party Wii games that go ignored and if they sell its mostly due to the bargain bin.

You seem to have missed my point about the Wii HD. The PS3 and 360 share most of their library because of similar specs. If the Wii HD had specs similar to the 360 or PS3, it would definitely receive many of the games we see on the 360 and PS3 and they will be EQUAL QUALITY. Obviously I don't want to see the typical Wii shovelware with improved graphics. Keep that crap the old Wii and make the Wii HD backwards compatible.

No, because Wii HD wouldn't have any install base starting out, it would be at zero, and most people who wanted those games would already own a PS3 or 360.

If they are buying Wii games which are high quality, then they want quality, there is something wrong with the third party titels if they can't sell, not because of the Wii consumers.

 

There will be future HD titles. Not everything on the Wii HD has to be old. But if they wanted to port old HD games to the Wii HD, it would be easier, cheaper, and superior than developing them especially for the Wii.

Personally I think there is a huge demand for Nintendo games. If Nintendo made it, there's automatically demand. Especially if its one of their long running franchises. 3rd party developers have delivered quality games. Yet low budget cliche titles for Wii seem to perform much better.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is bombing big time in Japan. Japan is the the bread and butter of that series as well. All excuses aside, the Wii is an unpredictable audience.

future HD games would go to the consoles with the established HD audiences, not to the Wii, or more test games would go, and once they flopped, no more would come.

No, because quality third party titles, like resident evil 4 Wii have sold, the ones that haven't were either not as quality, or were too niche
