Forum Archive: IGDA Japan says many developers are shifting their focus to Wii

[Bodhesatva]

As has already been shown completely and directly, Shane (in this thread, no less), many developers have done just that. Both EA and Capcom have explicitly stated that they have shifted development funds away from the PS3 and towards the Wii. If you need specific titles: Konami is currently developing Dewey's Adventure, which they stated was put into production because of the Wii's strong sales. Namco/Bandai is making "Space Station Tycoon" a Wii exclusive, and according to them, it's because of the Wii's strong (and growing) user base.

If you haven't seen evidence of growing third party support of the system, Shane, then you are deliberately closing yourself off. It's not one or two companies, or a few games: several major Companies have specifically and directly announced many new titles for the Wii, and many have explicitly stated that the system's strong sales are a motivating factor.
