It really makes you wonder why would people buy a console that doesnt have the games they like, I mean, if you want other games, get the consoles that have them and stop whining.

Im glad Im happy with my console.

The discussion here is about the Wii being an anomaly concerning the market dynamics of all previous generations. The market leader got the best third party support, every single time.

So we are trying to find an answer to what makes the Wii so different to every other bestselling home console and handheld before it.

- Cost of changing dev. studios to develop HD games was way too much to go back on (Capcom have said this)

- High cost of HD games vs SD Wii titles.

- Sony and Microsoft blackmailing devs over software and hardware supplies from their other product lines.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
