The Industry being stubborn

I'm really baffled with these companies. You must be really stupid and incompetent to insult the very same group you cater to.

Wii owners are not some alien race recently discovered; we're regular players, gamers, it's the publisher's / developer's job to MAKE us spend our money on their products.

Finally, if I were Nintendo, I'd put up a third party barrier of sorts (release quality title or go away). Third parties have done nothing to help the system, rather they make it look bad. They don't diversify the catalog THAT much, and they munch away sales from quality Nintendo products. Just go away, Wii're tired!

If Nintendo did this they would be right back where they were with the GC. Absolutely no games on the system. The reason the PS1 and PS2 got so popular (both with consumers and 3rd party devs) was because anyone could produce anything on the system. Nintendo right now has a similar quality control as the PS1/2/3 where so long as the game runs and doesn't explode, has all the right startup code, it is good to go.

While this allows crappy games, it also prevents 3rd party companies from feeling slighted and leaving the system. Heck, small and indie devs wouldn't put up with Wii and we wouldn't see titles like Little King's Story or other similar low budget games.
