Why third parties should not develope on PS3 or 360

[Cipherr]

Maybe if this gen was as carbon copy as the past gens were I would be with you on this one. But its not. These trends of past gens may very well mean NOTHING this time. Maybe Nintendo wins Japan and STILL loses in the end. I mean, look at how different things are now. We have 2 power house consoles and one that isn't even comparable power wise making multi plat games an absolute mystery. The fact that we have 3 strong competitors period throws a wrench into this gen. I just think that chart you posted, although impressive is pretty useless. We all know the Wii is doing well, but the third parties are not going to just abandon the other two. Due to Wii being weaker, some visions for games will not translate well on the Wii, whether you like it or not. Now I'm not saying there are games that the devs couldnt manage to squeeze out of the wii if they tried, I'm saying some stuff like dead rising and FF13 wont see the light of day on wii. Again not because they couldnt MANAGE to get a good version running on it, but because, well they have a CHOICE of squeezing it into the wii, or just relaxing and putting it on 360 or PS3 with either no squeezing or very little of it. Thats what I meant when I said if this was a carbon copy gen (if the wii was as strong as 360 and PS3) I would absolutely say it was going to suck away all the 3rd party major support and run away with the victory. But this time we have some massive variables with the controller and power and 3 strong platforms, not to mention that some still have that FUD about the Wii falling off a cliff (popularity and sales wise) sometime in the future. Since this gen is just so different I don't think anything can be counted on, all of the early signs of victory that we are so accustomed to using as proof that a certain console will win out in the end are no longer as rock solid as before. We are forced to wait until we actually SEE what happens.
