Why do most third party publishers ignore the Wii completely ?

[Pristine20]

Geez....people are still arguing about this? 3rd party devs have always had the freedom to do whatever they wanted. Back when the ps2 had 70% marketshare, some 3rd parties chose to go xbox exclusive with their games (think Panzer Dragoon, Ninja Gaiden, DOA, etc). There were no tears, everyone moved on because it was their loss. This should be the ideal attitude of wi fans but we get non-stop complaining instead.

Now, fast forward to the wii's gen. The wii hasn't obtained 50% marketshare yet yet it already has raging fanboys who think every game should be on their system since its 1st place. The industry ain't that simple. We were mostly given the idea that the wii ushered in a new type of gaming so why would a wii fan be clamoring for games like MW2 or Street fighter? These games still follow the "old school formula. It doesn't make sense to me.

You should buy a system for the games that are already on it or that you're sure would be on it in the future not because of mere assumptions based on marketshare. It'll save you headache. Instead of whining to capcom that sf4 or RE5 isn't on wii, perhaps you should get a 360? It's just as cheap as the wii. Some people list of games they think should be on wii that are exclusive to HD platforms are quite long. If you wanted those games, wouldn't it have made sense to have gotten a HD console instead of the wii? On the contrary, if you think Mario and Zelda are ultimately more worthwhile than all the 3rd party HD exclusives, then don't complain.
