EA, Activision, Ubisoft, and others simply aren't seeing the sales they should be seeing on the Wii considering its marketshare. At the end of the day it's better for third parties to have Microsoft dominant over both Nintendo and Sony since it takes a smaller share of total game sales when compared to the other two. Nintendo sees third parties as direct competitors while Sony has made it obvious they're working on building first parties at the expense of third parties (reduction in moneyhats, etc). |
Uh, sony's strategy involves converting winning 3rd party titles to first party ones. If they can buy, say a large portion of a studio's offerings then they know that it will be a lot easier to convert the studio to being a sony exclusive one. They also wont need to moneyhat because they have the demand from consumers now equalling or almost equalling the software sales of the 360, where only a year ago, it was probably only 65% of the 360's WW software sales.
