Never mind the small studios (their going bankrupt on HD) the big studios are bleeding red on HD. Only Ubisoft (home of the casualz) and Activision (GH/WoW) are in the black and they are relying heavily on the expanded market to do so. I think Sega broke even having lost tons on their HD efforts but done well on Wii/DS. Capcom has a good year too. At the end of the day 3rd parties will either finally learn the lesson Nintendo is teaching or die in combat for the HD buck. |
Gaming is a business. I'm pretty sure the 3rd parties would be all over the wii if they thought it'll make them the most money but their actions have shown that they don't think so. I'm pretty sure we don't have access to the business dealings that fuel the decisions of these companies so it's bestnot to jump into conclusions. If I remember correctly, there was also a thread on this site a few weeks ago or so about sega lamenting their own losses even after releasing "core" wii games.
Perhaps you could explain the lesson ninty is teaching that 3rd parties need to follow? Is it that everyoe should develop their very own marios because you should know that that's not possible. I may be missing your point there. If you could enlighten me I'd appreciate it.
