How do you know that GTA and Resident Evil would sell awesome on the Wii? There hasn't been a main series RE on it yet so that's impossible to know (RE4: Wii Edition has sold quite well but considerably less than RE5 on either HD console on a much higher install base. Yes, its a port but still), Chinatown wars hasn't exactly staggered the world with its sales on DS with its roughly 810k in two months (compare it to the usual GTA launches) near holidays on a 117 million userbase and games like No More Heroes, Madworld and not to mention The Conduit (which was highly hyped online) and their rather lukewarm sales is a telltale sign that certain types of games might not be the best idea to publish on the Wii.
And with games like MW2 moving 15-16 million across three platforms in less than a month its not hard to see why most 3rd parties are willing to bet on that trio.
You also have to consider the standings when the last generation "ended", or have you all forgotten the previous two?

man i hate fanboys that open their mouths without doing any research.

 

as Arius Dion already stated what I wanted to say, I won't bother repeating it.

 

 

I love your deabting style, it probably impresses everyone you know. Just tell there I'm wrong or being a fanboy instead of being childish. Your profile says 26 years old with a good education and a good job, act like it and do what (almost) everyone else does; discuss. Your index finger does nothing to prove points.

Arius Dion; the last sentence in my post went without comment so I'll ask differently this time; do you or don't you think that the past two generations are a big part of why Nintendo has such a strained relationship with 3rd parties? They've never been known to have a good relationship with them, the fees from the 80's and 90's in mind and unorthodox format (cartridge in N64 and mini DVD on GC) choices being some of the reason I imagine and their inability to move home console hardware for ten years before the Wii launched is probably a factor as well.

Thing is, I'm not solely blaming the Wii or Nintendo for 3rd party efforts being slack, the developers themselves are also to blame, of course. But its about taking risks when you have something safe and familiar. You are, however, solely blaming the developers, which is also unfair given Nintendo's history with them, neither has tried very hard to make the other happy to put it bluntly.
