I'm not making new rules with each new post, I'm trying to return to the idea behind my first and "original" post. Red Steal is one of the exceptions, mainly for beeing launch title with great expectations (which weren't completly fullfilled). The fact is that new IPs of "hardcore" third party titles (my first post) didn't sell as much as similar titles on HD twins, the attach ratio is nowhere close. Maybe it's that the Wii titles aren't "good enough", or MAYBE the audience is the problem. And don't compare the Wii to the PS2, that's last generation, let's stay in the present.

Ok. This will be my last post to you. And I would not have made this one except i just wanted to point out rule #17: Can't compare Wii to the PS2, for some reason...=0)
And i don't think your totally wrong. But its more complicated than the 3rd parties not making good enough games or the Wii audiance being too casual. There advertiseing issues. There are also niche type of games that aren't going to sell millions no matter what. There is also the issue of 3rd parties having to contend with Nintendo's own games. I mean thats got to be tough no? Also theres 2 issues I think are holding the Wii back more than anything else. Online SUCKS! And the hardware is weak. The Wiis online needs to be better for Dev's to really make the badass hardcore games on it. Same goes for the limited power the machine has. But in order to reach the market the Wii was trying for they wanted to protect the 10yr olds from all the child molesters out there and needed a nice pricepoint for the machine. Because of the pricepoint they had to make it a bit weaker then maybe some of us would like. They can't aford to throw money away like Sony or MS.
Ok i went on a lot more than I wanted to there but there it is.
