Solution for 3rd party Wii quality titles

Because it requires acknowledging the idea that third parties may be responsible for the current situation - not that they're at fault, so to speak, but that the demographic split is of their own doing.

Look, we agree that the demographic split is the primary reason that games like Call of Duty don't sell as well on the Wii, right? The typical Call of Duty buyer owns an HD connsole, yes?

Yeah, the demographic scatter is the primary reason Wii games are so unprofitable for 3rd parties -- they find it hard to target their traditional demographic there, and they are not used to the blue ocean demographic (like Ninty is), so they find it difficult to create games for the blue ocean.

I'm not really addressing that, however.  I'm addressing Reggies recent comments about how he wants to see games like AC2, etc. on the Wii.  I'm suggesting that, that just isn't going to happen, because the Wii is all about the blue ocean, and not about the traditional demographic at all.  If traditional demographic games come to the Wii, they need to cost more... or something.  The buyers just aren't there.

We're not talking about what you're addressing, we're working toward my solution. Follow me, here. And we can't pass word on what is or isn't profitable on the Wii, either, we're not qualified to say that sort of thing. Try to stick with me.

Now, given that the demographic split is there, it stands to reason that the majority of these nice big HD-type titles would continue to release on the HD systems, yes? Becuase that is where the audience is?

Presumably, sure.
