In the very long run, that's probably true. In the short run though, Wii gamers do suffer a bit as well: more quality software on a platform can only be a good thing for the consumer. |
I don't think even very long run, within 1-2 gens (5-10 years), the entire gaming industry will be vastly different than what it was at the beginning of the gen.
But you're right it does hurt Wii owners in the short run, but also breeds animosity or indifference towards the third parties, most Wii owners only really look at Nintendo games
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
