| Shane said: What's Nintendo got beyond this point that indicates third parties are really trying any harder going forward than they have already? At E3, I'll be told to wait til Spaceworld. GTA4's the type of game that takes years to develop and tens of millions of dollars. If it doesn't sell well, the company releasing it will be hurting badly. If MySims doesn't sell, nobody will care. |
For the most part third party developers do not care about quality ...
The reason you will get better quality Wii titles from third parties than what we have received so far is that as the quantity of titles increases and you receive greater support from high quality third parties you end up having a lot more high quality third party games.
Trust me, after E3 people will think of it as the "Nintendo Show" because the amazing performance of the DS will lead it to have the most high quality games announced for it, and the increase of support we have heard about (and been seeing) for the Wii will lead it to have far more announcements than either the PS3 or XBox 360. Even though Nintendo doesn't participate at TGS I expect there will still be a strong showing there.
Regardless on whether there is a shift away from the PS3 the Wii is getting more support and this means that there will be a lot of announcements because (unlike a lot of PS3 projects) we have no knowledge of these projects.
