You obviously haven't seen the 3DS line up.

His efforts, and those of NCL, were best redirected toward 3DS and their next console.

I disagree.

Supporting 3DS is simply a no-brainer. It's the follow up system from the soon to be best selling videogame system of all time. It's guaranteed to sell absolutely tons.

You don't need persuading to make games for that system.

Your own logic doesn't hold up.  If it didn't need persuasion, then why does the Wii considering it's the fastest selling console in history (faster even than the DS).  Shouldn't massive support for Wii be a no brainer?

No. Because of the direction Nintendo have taken it.

Big hit core games don't really have a proven market on Wii, where they have a vast proven market on PS3/360. The Wii early on was filled with party games and such. Those party games sold tremendously well coming off the success of Wii Sports/ Wii Play and such. The same happened with Wii Fit too and the sudden surge of fitness games. There is really no point in risking a bit blockbuster on Wii when you can sell 500k copies of some random party/fitness game with minimal effort and make a quick profit.

As for your 3DS thing... The main difference between Wii/ 3DS support is this. The 3DS is the follow up to the best selling system ever. The Wii was the follow up to the Gamecube. The games were being made for 3DS as soon as it was shown. Wii... Not so much. The 3DS is a brand new system. The Wii is halfway through, or nearing the end of it's life cycle.

3DS is in a totally different situation to Wii.
