FFXII didn't need HD graphics to sell, so why all of a sudden does FFXIII? FFXII would sell just as much on Wii, and even more in Japan due to the larger install base.

Admit it, people (people in general, not specifically talking about publishers or devs) don't want the Wii to be the video game king like the PS2. Back then it got all the exclusives with a very small amount going to X360/GC. The same thing should be happening this generation with Wii getting the majority of exclusives.

It's just stupid to keep a game like this exclusive. The perks of exclusivity don't even apply here. Increased hype: NBA Jam needs more hype? Boosted sales: Wii gamers don't care if a game is exclusive, they literally have hundreds of exclusive games. Lower costs: 360 is the most similar to a standard PC, so porting to a 360 would be even cheaper.

It just doesn't make sense when you also factor in millions of sales lost.

I'm skeptical though. Now that I think about it, this could be a marketing strategy to increase hype for the HD systems, though unneeded as they are. I definitely wouldn't have written 10 posts about NBA Jam had it been multiplat, so maybe....

It's just stupid to keep RE5 on the HD consoles if they can port it to the Wii using the RE4 engine.

are you sure they can do that? I'm pretty sure it wasn't built using the re4 engine, but an updated new version which may not translate easily.

If your point is correct though, then I would completely agree, although it's not that good of a game in the first place.
