| Shane said: Nintendo's got a lot of positive buzz, but I'm not seeing where it's all of a sudden become hip. Even if we were to assume that you could easily port something from 360/PS3 to Wii, developers don't appear keen to test it. The Wii version of any three platform game has been designed on the Wii, generally as a spinoff and/or by a different team. MySims isn't about pushing the boundaries. It's about finding another potential Sims market to exploit. In terms of sales, I would expect them to be modest at best. Guitar Hero's probably fairly cheap to produce, though it will sell a lot. |
Well, up to this point in time (with some very note worthy exceptions) third party games on the Wii have been rushed ports designed to cash in on the Wii's unexpected popularity. It is likely that at E3 we will see far more actual "Wii games" from third parties and (potentially) by E3 2008 you might see many developers designing with the Wii in mind and then upgrading the games for the PS3/XBox 360.
