| Dno said: i dont get how HD is to blame when most 3rd parties have made games on the wii and like capcom and sega said they fail bad and are making less games on he Wii in 2010. not to metion target and was it walmart? said they are gonna stop taking in some games for the wii.... its not the "ONLY" the HD systems fault as a lot of devs are making a killing and its not soley the wiis fault as um.. nintendo is making a killing there. The reson is simple. its EVERYTHING, HD costs, wii 3rd party games not selling, depression. its not one thing and it foolish to think other wise. Sony spoiled the 3rd parties the last 2 gens because Sonys 1st party sucked (compared to now) so it gave 3rd parties time to shine... now with nintendo on top selling monster great games lazy 3rd parties need to step up and make great games or customers are not even gonna look at you. i say it leaves only the best of the best. |
Sega's only major console hit this gen (Mario & Sonic) has been on the Wii, they've had a far, far more disastrious perfromance on the HD twins (VF5, Sega Rally, Golden Axe, etc, etc). Capcom just had MH3 become the first console game to ship a million units in Japan this gen, and they clarified that they'd be doing fewer, but higher profile Wii games. Neither is scaling back Wii support, neither is losing money due to Wii support, they're both retargeting Wii support and (seemingly) doing well enough due to it.
Target and Best Buy didn't say they were taking fewer Wii games, they told publishers which sorts of games they didn't want (minigame collections) due to oversaturation. That doesn't mean they'll stock less Wii games, it means they want a greater diversity of Wii games to stock.
Now look at the list of company closures I posted earlier. How many of those companies focused on Wii (or DS/PSP) releases? How many even developed a product for anything but 360/PS3/PC this gen?
