Looks like Wii/DS development isn't as great as some people make it out to be.

Just imagine how much more money they would have lost if they had focused on PsP/PS3.

Probably wouldn't have made as many games.

But we know how Sony like to help the smaller developers on PS systems. So things could have been a bit different...

I'm glad I uploaded this, it works so pefectly on you,

anyway you mean like NIS, Factor 5, and Free Radical,

considering Nintendo published another code and hotel dusk I doubt sony could do more

many small devs are drowning there due to the HD twins plus with the drop in venture capital expect more studios to collapse under the weight of the current financial situation.

so far 2 heavy wii/ds supporting companies are having trouble, CING and Marvelous, as opposed to basically the rest of the idustries financial woes which should be blamed squarely on the unsustainable market model of the HD twins judging by the comments in the article below,

I obviously need new material. Might start picking on the 360, the Ninty fans are way too knowlegable.

Anyway, CING and Marvelous are 2 companies who aren't (weren't) making shovelware. Maybe developers need to put more shovelware (and less "core" games) on Wii to succeed?

C'mon Carl. You know as well as I do that the 'Shovelware Well' ran dry mid-2009 for the Wii.

The shovelware Cing could have possibly made would have sold the same amount, if not much worse than their previous Wii title. Part of the reason you have 1 low quality/shovelware game out of 75 sell a million is because it is advertised well at a low price. They would not be able to advertise their shovelware game either so they would lose money again and harm their brand name/reputation.

Brand name probably doesn't matter at this point (bankruptcy) but still...

And I'd rather not get into the core/hardcore justification argument.
