But games developers increasingly see Sony’s machine as having a large enough base of users to justify not making titles for the Nintendo machine." This paragraph made perhaps the least amount of sense to me. Which is why I'm going to highlight it: So basically a console that has more than double the installed base of the other, sells more than double the software of the other is somehow not justified to have resources allocated exclusively towards it. But the console who sells the least and has the smallest installed base is? A lot of this 'article' seems to just be a bunch of bologna. The point maybe apart from Mario, wii fit and wii sports games what games really sell for the wii? In other words where is the money at? Your a VGC member. Just click Wii and see how many 1m+ sellers on on the system. Or just look at Capcoms recent fiscal reports. Why 'disqualify' titles that show monstrous sales? How many 20m+ sellers have been on PS3/360? How many 10m+ sellers have been on PS3/360? How many on Wii? You can do better than that I'm sure. Here is this weeks wii top 50, How much here would you buy? which have sold over 5 mill (not to much to ask considering the amount of wii's out there) that are not wii fit, sport, play or a Mario vehicle? I have a wii, yes there is some good software but it is rare and hidden under a mountain of shovelware which you must conseed as truth surely.   Edit, i took the 50 out as it was a mess but you all know how to find the information. (not only a mess but it screwed the page, sorry)

Sure, Wii's got a hell of alot of shovelware, but that comes with the territory of being market leader. PS1, SNES, PS2 all had heaps of it as well. But again I don't get the disqaulifying of titles. That's like saying how many titles sell on (fill in the blank) that aren't FPS, TPS or sports games? Its a pointless thing to do, imo.
