Suggesting that the Wii, if it continues to dominate in sales, will NOT also dominate in 3rd party support is the argumentative equivalent of plugging your ears and screaming "NAAAH NAAHH NAAHH! CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!"
I'm not trying to be mean. I'm trying to point out the economic fallacy in your logic. It outsold the 360 in less than half the time and burned the PS3 right out of the gate. I realize that zealous fanbots will pluck any excuse they can from their rear ends in an attempt to reassure themselves in their decision to purchase a PS3/60, but really, it's starting to become embarrassing.
Even as a zealous GC owner, I didn't have any illusions that the GC was going to somehow surge ahead and take first in the console race. None whatsoever. It's time to wake up and take the situation for what it is: the Wii wins, end of story. I could understand if the Wii had JUST stopped selling out like crazy and sales of the console were starting to taper off, but at this rate, there's nothing to suggest that the Wii won't be the hot item NEXT Xmas as well (it's done it for two, why not three?).
And if current 3rd party devs decide to be curmudgeons and not develop for the Wii, fine, fuck 'em. Wiiware is coming out soon and boasts a crop of starry-eyed new development blood with new ideas and a fresh perspective on the market. If devs won't develop for the Wii, they're going to be left behind.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
