Interesting take on the metaphor.

Wii first party games: full of win

Wii third party games: Full of something else

 

 

I think you're post is probably the best metaphor, because people look down on the third party games even though they are the same.

 First I gotta say, I'm glad you were cool enough not to be offended by my choice of words, it was meant to be a joke but some times intent on the internet is lost. So props for that.

But in no way shape or form are third party games on Wii matching in any way Nintendo's own offerings. There are exceptions, but very few. Now I don't believe this is just a matter of Nintendo being head and shoulders above them (though one could make an argument for that) because third parties have shown they can make fantastic games equal (or greater) to that of Nintendo themselves.

:P

I just think there are a lot of great third party games on the wii that are making devs nervous. I'd make a list but I gtg atm.

Just quickly

muramasa

silent hill

etc etc

Okay, now see here is where I think you and myself (and probably many others opinions differ) These titles you bring up are doing similar or better numbers than comparable games on other platforms. Silent Hill Homecoming did what compared to Shattered Memories? Muramasa did what compared to say Odin Sphere? Madworld did what compared to God Hand? These aren't blockbuster, high calibur titles no matter what platform they are on. But look at a Monster Hunter 3 and compare that to other console versions and look what happens. Watch what DQX does on Wii for example. The other thing I find funny is that when a game flops on the HD consoles its because "the game sucked" but when it flops on Wii its "proof blankity blanks can't sell on Wii" I garauntee you if a main line RE was on Wii in the vein of 4 it'd be a M+ seller. What would happen to Dead Space 2 on HD consoles if EA announced it to be a rail shooter? LoL.
